Flick Pick is a podcast about movies. In today’s episode, Andrew Green reviews Orphan: First Kill. It’s a new movie in theaters.
Orphan: First Kill is a prequel to Orphan, a 2009 horror film. The first movie is about an orphan from Estonia who is adopted by an American family. The big twist at the end is that the psychotic little Esther is, in fact, NOT an orphan or even a little girl. She’s a 33-year-old woman with a hormonal disorder that makes her look like a child.
Now, in Orphan: First Kill, we learn more about Esther’s origins. In this new movie, Esther infiltrates another family. They also got the same actress to play Esther as they did for the 2009 film, and they use digital de-aging techniques to have her reprise the role here.
Just for the heck of it, Andrew reviews Orphan: First Kill in this episode, but also reviews the original Orphan, which he loves.
So, did Andrew enjoy this Orphan prequel, or did he wish Esther had been left in 2009?
