Chicago Sun-Times -
You want a good horror film about a child from hell, you got one. Do not, under any circumstances, take children to see it. Take my word on this.

Philadelphia Inquirer -
Orphan, with a perverse plot twist at the end, will keep you on tenterhooks from its nightmarish opening scene to its chilling last frame.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Furhman plays pure evil with such supreme calmness that only her eyes shine with madness. Indeed, all of the child actors are superb, especially the expressive Engineer.

Boston Globe -
The best part of Orphan is the outstandingly lunatic plot twist that kicks in just as you're checking your watch and hoping they'll wrap things up. This development - I'd love to tell you, but you wouldn't believe me - boosts the movie into overdrive for a final 20 minutes of happy, disreputable mayhem.

USA Today -
It's a cut above most spooky-kid movies, with a twist that sets it apart.
