The Orphanage (El Orfanato)
Juan Antonio Bayona, 2007
Spain
@ IFC Center
There are a lot of similarities here to Cache. A well-to-do couple is haunted by mysterious figures related to a dark secret from childhood. The perpetrators here are at least mostly spectral, though. Again, the adult is ultimately held accountable for what really seemed to be an innocent misunderstanding, and again I'm baffled. Everyone, including the new widower seems weirdly pleased with the outcome.
