Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
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 - Unnamed
Orphan, with a perverse plot twist at the end, will keep you on tenterhooks from its nightmarish opening scene to its chilling last frame.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
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.
63
Boston Globe - Ty Burr
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 - Claudia Puig
It's a cut above most spooky-kid movies, with a twist that sets it apart.
