If Paramount+ viewers haven’t paused or given up on “Orphan: First Kill” by the second act, they might be shocked by a truly bonkers midway twist. This jarring development completely upends a film that had, up until that point, seemed like a milquetoast reheat of the first film.
It’s a shame that most of the film’s creativity seems siphoned off in other directions rather than sticking the landing for its intriguing plot gambit. Continue reading ‘Orphan: First Kill’ Review: A Predictable Horror Prequel Without Anything New To Offer at The Playlist.

Joe Leydon Film Critic Despite some ambitious efforts by director Jessica M. Thompson and screenwriter Blair Butler to revitalize hoary horror movie tropes with allegorical commentary on race, class and male privilege, “The Invitation” is too wearyingly hackneyed for too much of its running time, and too often laugh-out-loud funny as its plot relies on the age-old convention of a smart yet naive heroine who makes one bad decision after another. It would not be at all surprising if, at some screenings, exasperated members of the audience shout rude things at the screen each time the endangered protagonist fails to act in her own self-interest. Evelyn (Nathalie Emmanuel of “Game of Thrones”) is a free-spirited twentysomething New Yorker who insists that everyone, even total strangers, call her Evie — and she insists quite frequently, just so we don’t miss the fact that she is indeed a free spirit — and scrapes by as wait staff at catered affairs while trying to fulfill her artistic ambitions creating ceramics. When she helps herself to a swag bag at a swanky affair for Find Yourself (evidently an upscale version of Ancestry.com), she finds a DNA test among the goodies and opts to investigate her family tree. This, of course, is the first of many mistakes.
Sylvester Stallone was all smiles at the screening for his new film, .Stallone surprised fans at New York City's AMC Empire 25 theater Thursday night, who were catching an early look at the film before it hits theaters and Amazon Prime Video Friday.

Parks and Recreation actress Aubrey Plaza has found her next starring role in Hollywood legend Francis Ford Coppola's new movie Megalopolis.

If you’re ready to feel thrills and chills of the mind, the prequel to the 2009 horror movie “Orphan,” premiering Aug. 19, might be for you.Isabelle Fuhrman returns to the screen in “Orphan: First Kill” as Esther, who cleverly escapes from Estonian psychiatric facility and travels to the U.S.
HBO’s “Game of Thrones” went from an Emmy-winning phenomenon to a target of some serious, intense derision in its final seasons, even from its once-hardcore fans. Therefore, the prospect of returning to this fantasy universe barely over three years after departing it comes with some inherent apprehension.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticEsther (Isabelle Fuhrman), the demon child of the 2009 horror thriller “Orphan,” was a 9-year-old psycho freak who dressed like a frumpy Victorian doll and spoke in a Russian accent, which upped the ante on her malevolence by making her seem not just a junior devil but a junior devil from the land of Putin. Movies about monster children go way back (the original one, “The Bad Seed,” was released in 1956), and after “The Omen” and “The Brood” and “Ringu” and so many others, there wasn’t a lot of room left for a pulp horror film like “Orphan” to surprise us.
The 2009 cult film “Orphan” ends with (SPOILER) Esther’s body floating in a pond after her neck is broken, so when the trailer for“Orphan: First Kill” dropped, we were surprised to tell you that this film is going to be a prequel. We were surprised because, regardless of it being 13 years later, returning to her role of orphan Esther is Isabelle Fuhrman. This return will be made possible by a combination of make-up effects and camera tricks to make her still look believable in the role.
If you thought last month’s release of previously sealed testimony by former prosecutor Roger Gunson in the Roman Polanski sex case put an end to legal jousting over the secret sessions, you thought wrong.
