Honestly, I feel awful for the father; he was the only one in that family who wasn't a monster (aside from the real Esther).
@michieeeeee_
The woman playing Esther is an amazing actress fr. Was scared of her on the first orphan movie and still scared now. Great job explaining as always Foundflix!
@mmus13898
I was laughing to myself for most of the movie because of ALL the families Esther could’ve picked to try and con herself into, she just HAD to unknowingly pick the worst possible family 😂
@scarletaria
I went into this movie thinking I knew exactly what it was going to be, but man was I wrong! I loved the twist, too.
@jenniferhalf1650
It's amazing you can see how much she improved with acting. It's like a evolution chart. I mean even when she was a kid she was an amazing actress. It's just cool watching how her acting skills evolved over the years. I personally think she is VERY underrated. I hope this movie brings her the opportunities that she really does deserve.
@Scrofar
I'm genuinely impressed that not only did they manage to make a prequel that didn't suck, it was solidly written all around! (And very surprised and glad they didn't go hard on the "daddy" fixation, given that se/prequels tend to dial up the number somehow)
@monipooh25
Julia Stiles really snapped with her role. They had me with that twist and I was low-key rooting for Leena. I still think the first one was better but this was a good prequel
@thekawaiislartibartfast42
I was pretty sure there was something up with Tricia when she didn't immediately take her kid who had been apparently human trafficked for the last 4 years to a medical doctor for a physical. It was such a great, subtle performance of tightly wound waspishness until the reveal and look I need more Evil Julia Stiles in my life.
@ForeverTraitor
It could have so easily been a repeat of the first movie, but I'm so glad they went with the unique idea of having the family also be killers keeping up the charade!
@dramamole
When the twist happened my jaw hit the floor. I rarely get got and damn did they get me. Definitely made the movie a super fun watching experience. Flipped the whole thing on its head.
@antithoughtpolice7497
The classism doesn't fall flat to me, it's the dream of every horror lover: two evils battle out. Ester doesn't care who she steps on for freedom she doesn't deserve, and her new family sacrifices everything in the name of status (pretty much their family, humanity, and sanity)
@ryanishyperfixating
I think that the fact she looks older in this makes sense in universe too, since she hasn’t “perfected” her con of looking younger
@tenten1834
The twist really made you root for the psychotic homicidal dwarf which is something I never thought I’d say
@dantauche7917
I was also pretty surprised they were able to so well make "Esther" look so young!
@LadyAstarionAncunin
The fact that even Orphan (which I think is great) got a sequel tells me we truly live in the "anything is possible" era of filmmaking. Now I'm waiting on the sequel to Dredd!
@AlexA-ko8lu
The twist is based losely on the stranger than fiction real life events of a French con man impersonating a missing American boy and the American family strangely not asking many questions or fully embracing him either....and the con being pretty obvious to more than a casual look. Look at the documentry movie "The Imposter".
@kassjazzy
Gunner's death scene was so satisfying, this movie had me rooting for Esther lol
@187mrsmith
This was definitely a interesting prequel it wasn't bad by any means I think Julia stiles nailed her role The twist definitely caught me off guard I would say it was a pretty good overall movie &would recommend it!
@vonVile
Paramount blew it by releasing this on their streaming service with a very limited theater release. I was lucky to see it on the big screen.
