Orphan First Kill

Isabelle Fuhrman deserves an Oscar for portraying Esther the Orphan.Director William Brent Bell’s psychological horror thriller Orphan: First Kill (2022) rises to the occasion of making an Orphan (2009) prequel feel warranted and entertaining. It’s got an insane twist so brazen and vicious that Orphan: First Kill is nearly as mind boggling and shocking as Orphan. Orphan: First Kill’s incredible twist justifies its existence alongside Esther’s bloody kills and delightful characterization. I was actively rooting for Esther to survive and murder her new family to go onto greater fiendish conquests.Writers David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, David Coggeshall, and Alex Mace provide hilarious black comedy, frightening slasher horror, and insightful character drama to Orphan: First Kill. Esther is very sympathetic and sorrowful here as she just wants to be loved for who she is without being treated like a child. It’s quite sad. I was skeptical if we needed an Orphan prequel, but after seeing Orphan: First Kill, I’d watch another sequel of Esther escaping into a new adopted family. She’s an iconic horror villainess, who is entertaining to watch her gaslight and manipulate her way into unsuspecting homes.Bell’s direction is super clever in how he does not use CGI to de-age Isabelle Fuhrman, but rather utilizes a young child actress to portray Esther in wide shots where we do not see her face to keep the illusion of her being smaller. I liked how the camera will be angled up or down to ensure Esther looks like a young child in every scene. Bell’s dedication to the bit is appreciated and Orphan: First Kill looks wonderful, feels absorbing, and captivates with suspenseful encounters. You’re always anticipating Esther about to pounce. I honestly think Orphan: First Kill is directed nearly as creatively and skillfully as the original Orphan. I’m very impressed I was not distracted by the age difference at all.Isabelle Fuhrman delivers a phenomenal performance as the youthful looking adult serial killer Leena Klammer pretending to be the missing child Esther Albright. Fuhrman’s captivating dark gaze is haunting. Her depiction of Esther’s sheer loneliness, lustfulness, jealousy, depression, boredom, hatred, fear, and violent nature is chilling and heartbreaking all at once. She effortlessly and subtly shows how tragic a horror villainess and heroine Esther is at heart. I adore Isabelle Fuhrman for her deft acting with real nuance for her beloved horror murderer Esther. Her sullen looks or sharp changes to glares are immensely effective. She’s a compelling actress to watch with sincere emotional expressiveness and complex characterization. Isabelle Furhman should be up for a Best Lead Actress Oscar at The Academy Awards for playing Esther so beautifully and frighteningly in Orphan: First Kill.Julia Stiles is moving and stunning as the grieving and conniving mother Tricia Albright. She’s on guard and suspicious, but plays kindly to Esther until the massive reveal. Stiles performs a gripping supporting actress role that’s worthy of praise. Orphan: First Kill has some of her finest acting. Rossif Sutherland is incredibly sympathetic as a mourning father and estranged husband named Allen Albright, who just wants to paint and spend time with his daughter Esther. I thought his scenes with Isabelle Fuhrman felt sweet and paternal in a loving and genuine way.Matthew Finlan is excellent as the entitled, rich snob Gunnar Albright. He’s despicable and narcissistic from the start, so you want Esther to enact a terrible vengeance upon him immediately. Hiro Kanagawa is intriguing as Detective Donnen, who you just know will uncover a bit too much information about Esther for his health. Samantha Walkes is great as the perceptive and gullible child psychologist Dr. Segar. David Brown as Dr. Novotny is fantastic in the opener as a medical professional well aware of how dangerous Leena is in reality.Production designer Matthew Davies creates an asylum and a mansion set with a lavish splendor for Esther to run around and wreak havoc throughout Orphan: First Kill. I loved seeing Winnipeg, Canada in the backdrop of the movie for a cold, isolating atmosphere. Andrea Kristof’s art direction shows flashing red alarms for when we first see Esther like the purple blacklight during the painting sequences that are really striking horror visuals. Sara McCudden’s set decoration is stylish with cute furniture that Esther would be impressed by like the doll house, record player, and fancy bed with ornate pillows.I like how up close and personal cinematographer Karim Hussain’s shots maintain focus on Esther. We’re constantly staring into her heartless dark eyes and deeply manipulative faces. I’m genuinely impressed at the use of wide shots with a young stung double child actress to hide Isabelle Fuhrman being a young lady now. I found these cutaways very fun and helped to keep me immersed in Esther’s world of spiteful deception and ruthless violence. I did find some of the blurry shots strange, but they look like a style choice as the majority of the film is well shot. Editor Josh Ethier’s careful cutting keeps your suspension of disbelief in tact, so that we only ever see Isabelle in close-up and medium shots as Esther. The perspective tricks are very clever and artfully cut.Composer Brett Detar’s symphonic score for Orphan: First Kill is eerie and bombastic alike. Detar builds up suspense with creepy melodies that sound chilling, then rises into thrilling orchestration for Esther’s bloody violent horror sequences. I loved the music throughout Orphan: First Kill. The scene wherein Esther steals her mother’s car to add lipstick and shades, all set to “Maniac” from Flashdance is iconic already. It’s funny they chose “Maniac” from Flashdance to play as that song was originally written to be the theme for a serial killer in a horror movie before inspiring a generation to dance. It fits Esther’s devil may care attitude and freewheeling murder sprees.I adore costume designer Kim H. Ngo’s evil black doll dress for Esther and the cute pink dress with frills. Her black and pink chokers are fashionable and memorable as a part of who Esther is at heart. Her inner darkness is represented by her Gothic clothing. Ngo even gave Julia Styles flattering outfits that look expensive and stylish. Make-up artist Doug Morrow does a fantastic job at aging or de-aging Isabelle Fuhrman as we see Esther. Her pale skin tone and bows in her hair are cute on Isabelle and match the innocent look that Esther desires to trick adoptive families.In conclusion, Orphan: First Kill is perhaps the most fun 99 minutes I have had all year with a film. It is a startling horror film that understands the campy black comedy and visceral horror violence that made the original Orphan so popular and effective. I loved seeing Isabelle Fuhrman return as Esther and would happily watch Esther destroy another family.

I loved the first movie "Orphan" so much, it waa original, suspenseful and kept you on your toes...and I still pray that someone makes a sequel because I'm all in for it yet until then I'll settle for this gem. Most prequels are the worst...who cares about them however this movie shows why Esther is the way she is and you as the viewer have fun watching it.In the beginning a doctor says Esther is the most dangerous patient in the hospital and with good reason. This version of Esther is more ruthless, more deadly, piles up a little body count and is definitely out for blood. And while I'm at it... Julia Stiles has returned to acting after a break and plays a really mean one here which is so refreshing to see her match wits with Esther in a sick cat and mouse game.If you liked the first then this is your movie!

"Orphan: First Kill" is a fugitive fable. Leena is a patient at Saarne sanitarium in Estonia. Leena has a "glandular disorder" which has caused her growth to be stunted. Leena has the height and appearance of a ten year old girl. Looking into the visage of Leena Klammer, who is the personage made immortal by actress Isabelle Fuhrman, I was preparing for horror. I wanted a Halloween movie (this early!) and all my longings were aimed towards this, with memories of treasured twilight and foliage thrills. "Orphan: First Kill" delivers an extraordinary killer-Leena-and with blocks of expanding complications, the impulses which force Leena to escape, and her intertwining into an upperclass household forges a clandestine adventure. We are witnesses, in whimsical segments, to impersonation and distrust synergies, equal and better than that of historical Soviet-American pretenses. Leena becomes Esther, a little girl to a family in Darien Connecticut. In films where the protagonist is in a 'game', or a mansion of mystery, this given person must point-out the implements of disguise and clues to explain the world around him or her, Leena rather, presents the thrill of being embedded within her society, and the darkening evolves around Esther's continuous plights to survive, to hide. In this wealthy Connecticut home of the Albright's, the conjoining furtive plots of Esther's guardians and intrusive law enforcement officers, make the attached suspicions a highly decorated venue of tact and dark sarcasm. Leena, as Esther, the little girl she is thought to be, stalks in a world where adults inform one another, and the elevated knowledge which has existed above the plot of this movie is incubating and is coarsing in the light parochial tones. Confessions, disappearances, and murders, are tracery branchworks in the excitements at the center of "Orphan:First Kill". There are a couple ploys which are a little gimmicky, seem contraptive, but they don't initiate disbelief, and certainly aren't ruinous to the interest we have invested in 'Leena's-Esther's-who ever's-' struggles.

Ester is back and it shows how she started. Now that everyone knows esters secret you think the film would be surprising, but there are some unexpected twists. Julia Stiles is great in this film.

The first orphan movie was what got me into horror movies, so I was nervous to watch this movie. It is a little different, definitely more gore involved, but I LOVED this movie over all! It was amazing!!!!
