Both of you have quickly become one of my favorite horror movie watching duos, please keep doing them together! Love your running commentary, Roxy's questions and IMDB research sidequests! 😂
Some good Horror movies 🎬: Annihilation, The Tall Grass, The Green Inferno, The Ritual, Identity, Color out of Space, The Void, The Thing 2011, It Follows, Hellraiser 2022, The Belko Experiment and Beach House
Reminds me of those years when k*lling clowns were a real threat here in the US when the IT movie came out... The group of people that got freaked out by one and started to run while recording except that one woman that just kept laughing bc she thought it was a joke😖 Roxy's too pure
Holy shit, are you finally making an original comment? Because if you were, that's fucking great! Hopefully no more stealing top comments. Be confident, I believe in you! I'll see you with more original comments in future videos!
My favorite thing is Greg and Roxy having 2 very different experiences while watching this 😂 Greg: this little girl is Satan Roxy: this little girl is traumatized
I remember watching Orphan for the first time and being blown away by it. The acting is amazing throughout, but Isabelle Fuhrman as Esther steals the show
"There's something wrong with Esther" is actually a sentence they put in the DVD's cover. Or at least the ones that my friend rented back then. And I love we get a lot of that vibe in this movie lol
I think its so interesting how many people don't pick up on how negligent the father is. Especially when he doesn't believe his wife and gaslights her into believing she's in the wrong. He's awful and all of what happens could have been avoided without him. The mother was smart and would have removed her children immediately if he weren't in the way.
My favorite part of this is the dynamic of Greg not trusting Esther from the beginning and Roxy still giving her the benefit of the doubt. Around 35 minutes in, Esther wins over Greg, and Roxy's sweet heart is still seeing Esther as a trauma-ridden survivor!
I read that story! It was a bride who told her husband to never take off her choker ribbon. He grew too curious & when she was asleep he removed it. And her head rolled off !
@@roxystriarthe story was from In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories called The Green Ribbon. It was written by the same guy that wrote the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series. And yes, I remember reading the Green Ribbon in elementary school and it stuck with me for yeeears as well 🙂
Love that book! All those stories used to scare me when I was little. Like the one with the guys with big teeth lol. Now it's so silly, but when I was a kid it really scared me.
Isabelle Fuhrman knocked this role out of the park. The premise is crazy and shouldn’t work, but, man, does she make for one scary antagonist. She is so creepy both before the twist and after. You guys should check out The Novice (2021). It features another great Isabelle Fuhrman performance-less murdery, but more obsessive than Esther. Think Whiplash but about competitive rowing.
What i liked about this movie is that it’s based off that weird little girl that was on Inside edition a few years back. Love scary movies based off real events. Barbora Skrovlá, was born with a strange type of hormonal disease that made her look like a child. Skrovlá was in the Mauerová family with the name "Anna," and she committed several acts of cruelty. The resonance of the case was Klara Mauerová, the mother of two children, who committed acts of extreme abuse, according to Klara, under "Anna's ideas" and for protecting "her." Fun facts: • Actress Aryana Engineer, who plays Max, their completely-deaf biological daughter in this film, is mostly deaf. She has Cochlear Implants which enhance her abilities to hear and speak. • The subtle uneasiness of the film's poster is due to the image of Esther's face. It is perfectly symmetrical. Half of her face has been mirrored to form a whole face (notice the identical twists of hair on each side). Isabelle Fuhrman won the 2009 Fright Meter Award for Best Actress for her performance in this film. • Warner Bros. edited the film's trailer to remove Esther's line, "It must be hard to love an adopted child as much as your own," after receiving numerous complaints from adoptive parents and foster care organizations. However, the line remains in the film. •
I remember when I was like 14, I decided I was too old to trick or treat. So instead for Halloween, I stayed home and watched this movie alone lmfao. Orphan has always been iconic and has cemented for me that psychological, gaslighty horror will always be the best.
One of the greatest child performances I have EVER seen. I actually didn't properly appreciate it at first, because I just naturally assumed, she just already was a young adult. 😅 I just found out recently that she was apparently just 12 years old when they shot this. Anyway this story is loosely based on the story of Natalia Grace (who WAS actually also a real child but got horribly abused and mistreated). But there was an even more accurate real life case in Russia I believe. But I think it was in the 1960s or even earlier and it's much worse documented.... But this technically did REALLY happen....
Guys can you please at least TRY to be a little bit less judgemental? It's okay. People can look EXTREMELY young and still be grown adults. Just google search "Lilly Ford", amongst others......
@@rednaskela4830 Yeah, I already explained, I got confused. Because they show a Natalia Grace picture in that Joe Rogan clip, I hated so much. It made me dig a bit deeper in that case. But it's still interesting. And kinda sad. Regardless to the movie.
This movie was inspired by the case of Barbora Skrlova. Natalia Grace was adopted in 2010 and this movie was released in 2009, so she wasn't an inspiration for the movie. It looks like her adoptive parents decided to tell a story loosely based on this movie.
one of my favorite facts that i learned when the second one came out was that Leonardo DiCaprio ( he's a producer on the movie) was the reason isabelle was cast as esther because a lot of people weren't watching her audition tape and he was so impressed by her audition that he was going to shop the movie around to different studios if they didn't cast her
It's based on a true story actually. Glad to see you, happy new year. Loved to come by your stream yesterday. Felt wholesome. Did you fix the lag problem? Or at least identify what caused the problem?
the prequel is sooooo worth reacting to, it was so cleverly done and even used esthers actress even tho she was already in her twenties, using camera tricks and stuff.
Orphan made me feel the same way I felt when I saw “The Good Son”. The film taking place during the winter season set the mood and dark atmosphere. Parents dealing with the grief of losing a child, and a psychotic serial killer in a child’s body to bring it all full circle. One of the best horror films in our generation.
Roxy!!!! I remember that story about the girl with the ribbon around her neck! You just unlocked a memory for me haha. I think it was in the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book series- not 100% sure though! Edit: it’s from the book In A Dark Dark Room & the story is The Green Ribbon.
I’m glad to see Roxy react to this movie with Greg. The poster for Orphan creeped me out. Isabelle Fuhrman was phenomenal. I’m surprised Leonardo DiCaprio was a producer of this movie. Robert Downey Jr’s wife Susan was also a producer. She was co-president of Dark Castle Entertainment at that time. Neither of them return as producers for the prequel. I definitely want you guys reacting to the next movie.
I can't believe a childlike adult poses more of a threat than post T3 Terminators: - kills the dad - kills the nun - threatens, then almost kills the son three times, presumably leaving him in a vegetative state - nearly kills the daughter twice, and harms her with the 'car stunt', not to speak of the trauma she endures witnessing a murder and being forced to shoot a gun to save her mom - makes the mother look like an abuser and an insane person; therefore destabilizes the parents' marriage further - severely injures and almost kills the mother That's the kind of horror movie villain we need: competent, resourceful, 5-10 steps ahead, hard to take down
I have to admit it reminded me of a goodies episode. They take a job babysitting and its all creepy with the child begging for help to escape. Then at the end of the episode the parents return and say "You mean you let her out?" and she blows up the gazeebo they're in because her parents kept her locked up for a reason.
Because they least expect it they don't have any guard up they don't use their brain they underestimate the person if small if a kid if a girl ,but even if she wasn't a kid still a kid can be capable of this and worse, age is just a number
I love how different your reactions are to this 😂. Knowing the twist its so cool to see this reaction, always loved this movie. Isabelle Fuhrmann is so damn good.
The thing is that there have been a few real-life cases like this. The one that inspired the movie was about a czech woman named Barbora Skrlova, that pretended to be a 13 year old boy in Norway and it wasn't the first time, she had abused children from another family she was in before.
Benjamin's buttons actually IS real, it's just dramatized and looks different in movies. You essentially just look far older than you actually are since birth and it can be very deadly. Edit: the movies just flip the symptom, you don't age backwards you age incredibly fast
I remember seeing an article/video with a real person that was only 3ft tall, married, and had kids in said marriage. An extremely rare case. But I remember seeing it. I believe the article was in 2023.
@@lolmanyeah1 I'm saying the symptoms presented in movies aren't real, but the condition itself *is* real. Like you said, an adult that looks like a child is the complete opposite of aging really fast(Hollywood is always gonna Hollywood). You must not have finished reading my og comment before replying.
Vera Farmiga is my favourite actress, and I love to see Greg appreciate her so much too!! She's fantastic in this. This film is one of the classics for me, Isabelle's performance as Esther is absolutely insane. It really goes back and forth for a bit and it was so fun to see both your reactions being so different, Roxy's UNDYING faith in her supposed trauma was absolutely hilarious.
Yas Roxy! I read the ribbon story as a kid too. It was in a book called "The Dark, Dark, Room." The title was the first story, then I think the next was the kid walking home at night meeting different people with increasingly longer teeth. There is a weird cat story that I vaguely remember. Then the "Girl with the Ribbon." A boy meets a girl as a kid that always wears a ribbon. They end up getting married and on her deathbed she finally lets him remove the ribbon and......
Great reaction! Seeing this movie in the theater was so much fun! It was so intense and full of emotions running wild. I’ll never forget how the entire theater screamed and cheered for Max when she picked up that gun and even the kick, the entire theater was relieved! Lol
Yes, Roxy! I've heard of the girl with the ribbon around her neck too!! This story was read to us by our teacher when I was in grade 4. I just remember it being really eerie & spooky.
This is by FAR the best reaction of this movie. You guys weren't on the same page at all. Roxy feeling bad for Esther for just about the entirety of the movie was fun to watch. Greg rooting for Esther even when things got really out of control was unsettling lol. What a great watch!
The Green Ribbon was a story in a kids book. Little girl wore a green ribbon around her neck all her life and wouldn’t tell anyone why. She got married and, years later, when she’s on her death bed, she tells her husband he can finally know why and she asks him to undo the ribbon. The story ends with something like “and Jenny’s head fell off.” There was even a drawing of her head on the floor. Dark af. I loved it lol
I probably agree mostly with the way Greg was watching this movie but I love how Roxy was watching it. She was starting off with empathy for Esther and maybe she had a traumatic past which is probably the way grown me would perceive Esther, but because I was a kid when I first watched this I just assumed she was a psychopath.
lmao, greg being completely sus of esther from the start and roxy being team esther the whole time is absolutely hilarious yall should watch The Good Son
Watching this a second time because your banter and google searches in the review section are as entertaining as the reaction itself 😂 I love Greg & Roxy reactions ❤
The paintings of faces on the fish and flowers freaks me out because they look like the father character, hinting that ester will be adopted by him.😰😰🧐🧐
Let’s freaking go! W Duo I agree with Roxy about the ribbon story. I was freaking traumatized This reaction is freaking hilarious “You’re, Esther!” Lmao
"In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories" - the story is called The Green Ribbon, sometimes called The Girl with the Green Ribbon. I'd forgotten this until Roxy mentioned it! I remember reading it many, many years ago and it scared the heck out of me.
13:28 some of scariest stories I ever heard: 1) A family that was literally made of sugar and died when they dissolved in the rain. 2) A man who’s head got cut off by the cow catcher of a train and wanders the woods looking for his head.
