MOVIE REVIEW: We endure more creepy child's play with 'Orphan: First Kill'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A decent horror flick best known for its surprising, bonkers twist, 2009’s Orphan felt very much like a one-and-done outing.

But here we are over a decade later welcoming Isabelle Fuhrman’s Esther into our lives again, this time in a prequel that sees her escape from a psychiatric facility and travel to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family.

Bizarrely, Fuhrman is playing a younger version of the character despite the proceeding 13 years, although given Esther’s condition and the clever way helmer William Brent Bell shoots her - using low and high angles along with child body doubles - they just about get away with it.
