THE ORPHAN (2009)
SYNOPSIS
The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated
Kate and John, taking a toll on both their marriage and
Kate’s fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares
and haunted by demons from her past. Struggling to
regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives, the
couple decides to adopt another child. At the local
orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves
strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost
as soon as they welcome Esther into their home,
however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold,
leading Kate to believe that there’s something wrong
with Esther—this seemingly angelic little girl is not
what she appears to be. Concerned for the safety of
her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see
past Esther’s sweet facade. But her warnings go
unheeded until it may be too late…for everyone.
