I told everyone I know to see it but people seem to come away disappointed, thinking they were getting something else - a flat out scary shocker, or some shit, when it's got more in common, mood wise, with say Don't Look Now, or Rosemary's Baby. I think they've really messed up the marketing on it. They should have made a slow burn arthouse thing, build up good word of mouth. Plus everyone is banging on about the twist, like that's the important thing. You can't enjoy a film the same way with that foreknowledge I saw the Orphanage before i saw any trailers or had heard much about it and it blew me away.

You'd actually think this was actually a Del Toro film, judging by the marketing. And what's the deal with the trailer giving away all the best bits? Bad choice. Anyway, i'm sure lack of attention on Bayona will shift when he gets a second picture, and that's only going to happen if The Orphanage gets decent audiences. I don't like the way it's being handled either, but getting arses on seats = a good thing. You’re not wrong. You’d actually think this was actually a Del Toro film, judging by the marketing.

He did, after all, direct it. I know Del Toro is a great guy and a big name, but it just seems weird that he's so much at the heart of everything I see about The Orphanage. It's like Tarantino and Eli Roth, except that Bayona probably isn't a freaking idiot. Does anyone actually want to speak to the director of this film? He did, after all, direct it.
