the orphanage (2007)

aka El Orfanato.
Laura moves with her adopted son Simón into an old house, which was her home when she was an orphan. Simón talks to her about his five invisible friends, but she believes this is just his imagination and pays it little attention until she sees a mysterious masked boy and Simón vanishes.
A well made and wonderful looking film, that never quite catches fire and has plot holes that are impossible to ignore. But suspend your belief, after all this is a horror
film and not real life and you'll find an enjoyable Ring style horror.
