Day one purchase for me.
I can't wait to buy this movie, I loved it.
AMAZING!!! WAAAAY better that I expected...definite buy!!!
Isabelle Fuhrman kicks ass in this movie!
Will purchase this, if I have enough money left over from my future purchase of Drag me to hell. Orphan and Drag me to hell in the same month? Heck Yeah!
The BEST horror and one of the most surprising movies of this year!!! I loved the movie! Excellent from the cast all around, INCLUDING the kids! I believe Isabelle Fuhrman should get an Oscar nomination for her role. The film has SUSPENSE, which a lot of horror movies lack these days. It's finally great to see an original and GOOD horror film. We only see movies like these come out once in every 10 years so people, buy it when it comes out. I know I will! 8/10
oh... im reading good stuff about this...
i didnt know it was that good... even if it wasnt im getting it anyways =)

i don't know. it was a pretty hokey movie down the line, but definitely entertaining. some horrific moments and an ending twist so damn looney it has to be seen to be believed... but anyway. maybe a 2,5/5. not too bad.
It's a good movie, but it just kinda drags in the middle. Not sure I'd buy it. Fuhrman was spectacular, as was Farmiga, Sarsgaard didn't really do anything until near the end.

The biggest Horror/Suspense shocker of the year. It was actually very good. I've talked about it before, and I still think Isabelle Furhman's performance deserves some slight recognition in a Best Supporting Actress nomination on this years Academy Awards, she is only 12 years old and to overcome a performance like that, deserves all attention and recognition.
Believe it or not, this is one of the best films of the year (it's my #2). A very well-crafted suspense film with a couple of great performances (Furhman and Farmiga are terrific) and a delicious, wicked sense of humor. It made me laugh a lot (not at it, with it) and was one of the most fun times I've had at the movies all year (along with Drag Me To Hell). This is a must buy!
Do we really need a gigantic "Includes Chilling Alternate Ending!" tag on the side? Cover works better without it.
Same date as Ice Age. BOTH a PASS!
I'm still waiting for "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian." We've still got that and "The Hangover" left. We already know about "Angels & Demons," but I'm still waiting to find out when I can rent "The Hangover" and when I can get "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian."

I'm pretty sure that it isn't a tag on the cover. I thought the same thing when I first saw it and I didn't know why they'd put that there. However, when you look at it, it's not actually on the dvd cover it's slightly larger and before it. I think it was just put their on the poster but it won't actually be on the case. I may be wrong but do you see what I mean? I think when we get the High-Res cover it won't be there. At least hopefully not that huge!

The Orphan was one of the most suspensful films I've seen in a long while. In fact, I don't think I've ever been as tense as I was watching that movie. I'll definitely buy it, maybe when it's 4 for 20 DVD or 2 for 25 Blu at Blockbuster.
I thought this movie was great and Isabelle Fuhrman gave an amazing performance...I agree an Oscar nomination would be well deserved

Great movie. Can't wait to pick it up. Blu for me.
Even though I am anxious for the release, I am disappointed in the extras. For those wondering, I am a BD collector, but even the Blu-ray extras are lacking. Just additional scenes, an alternate ending, and a Featurette? That's a rip-off if you're paying $25 or more for the BD. I guess WB redeemed themselves, because DVD collectors were upset with the lack of extras, now they have 80% of the BD extras. Oh and how can I forget, the inevitable digital copy? I just wish that more effort would go into the release. I want more bang for my buck. Nevertheless, I will still buy if I have enough money.
comparing it to the Sixth Sense seems weird. i mean this is a straight up horror movie while Sixth Sense was more a drama than anything else. But based on comments here, this has a twist ending so i guess thats their justification for the compairison.
This was good and a lot better than i expected. I liked a lot of this summers horror/thrillers(drag me to hell, collector and perfect getaway) HATED H2 though. I am not sure if ill buy this but for sure rent it to see the features

It's so annoying how people go into every thread for every movie announced saying they don't care and they're waiting for such and such movie to be released.

I will be there first day it is released. Stoked for the Alternate Ending.
What an AWFUL movie! The twist was not only obvious but so typical and unoriginal as well.
The alt. ending has peaked my interest though. -_-

Spoiler A young girl repetitively bashes a nun with a hammer (blood on her head is visible and the bashing is present also). A young girl stabs a man numerous times in the abdomen with a knife (blood is visible and the stabs are present). A young girl throws a rock at a dead pigeon (the actions and blood are both seen). A young girl is kicked into an ice pit and there is blood on her face.

Ok. First of all, I don't understand. NO movies released in the history of mankind has had this kind of twist ending. You call it "unoriginal" and "typical." Please, I would like a list of movies that had similar endings.
