* Not telling an aspiring employee how she'd be working with the most notorious of the Institute, who has the body of a child. * Not securing a room, before locking that woman in the room, and demanding her stay in there, also failing to mention who Leena really was. * One guard being a flirty dumbass, getting himself killed for that matter. * Another guard failing to keep the facility on lockdown, better yet failing to handle against a single mental patient, despite being armed. And ultimately: *Failing to inform the police and initiate a lockdown and manhunt for Leena Klammer, who poses as a child, and is extremely manipulative and dangerous, which allowed her to easily con an uninformed police officer into having her brought into the embassy, and shipped into the United States.*
@@theshamegame2787 I immediately rolled my eyes at this movie when that perv guard died. How does a grown man just let a tiny women do that to him? Does Esther have super strength? 😂😂😂
Agreed with everything said: Would've worked better as a sequel. Needed more interaction with household staff. The gag should've been sooner and my main gripe is: They made both fathers into such clueless clowns. Had great potential but too many things didn't add up. Julia was the the best part of this movie.
A sequel is not out of the question, imo. Just go with the darker "alternate ending" of part 1 (which I almost can guarantee you was the *real* ending) where Esther/Leena actually lives, and take it from there.
The post twist is literally an episode of Law & Order SVU. Where this girl was being held captive and raped, she escaped and pretended to be a different missing girl to this family, the mother and one of the sisters knew it wasn't her because the sister killed her and the mom covered it up.
I just wanted to say I enjoy the style of your videos, it really is an intimate set up and it works really well. You two are captivating and I learn so much. So thank you Nick and thank you Joseph. Much Love for y'all.
I love you, "CONNECT-IT-CUT", sooo much. I rewatched just to hear you both say this. Having the 2 grown women (mom and "daughter") battle it out subversively WOULD HAVE BEEN CREEPILY sexually AND HUMOROUSLY unsettling.
I'm not sure what exactly it is,but there is something about the dynamic in speach you have amongst yourselfs that I find oddly comforting. I'm not gay or even a huge fan of the channel(do like it thow) but there is something about your banter that puts my anxious mind at ease. This is something that I cannot thank you enoughf for. Maybe you will read this,maybe you won't,just know you are appreciated
I have been too busy but MY GOD this feels like I have just plopped on the couch with a big glass of wine and my favorite peeps when I listen to you both ❤ HALLELUJAH
I love this channel. I hear about so many movies through it. Usually my husband and I will then decide if we want to see it and if not then I’ll watch the review. I’ll then go back to my husband asking if he wants to know what “the gag” is lol
I was really shock at the plot twist and i was so confused whos the real villain on this movie esther or julia/tricia i really love the movie i love how they dont use cgi to make Isabelle furhman a kid they just use camera tricks.
What gets me is that nobody can kill this little woman, girl, whatever. Both the mom and son were trying to catch her and they couldn't finish it. Two fully grown adults couldn't kill her?? Come on man 🤣
I will have to see this movie when it comes on Paramount. You both should review older films as well like "The Bad Seed" "Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte" "Whatever happened to baby Jane" etc..
The end of this is kind of ironic for me. As is the reference to The Good Son. Years ago I went and looked that up because I hadn't seen it since I was young, and made a suggestion about how that movie could have ended. The she that I'm referring to is Macaulay Culkin's (Henry's) mother in the film. Here's the video link and my comment: th-cam.com/video/xqsDUwDwdUM/w-d-xo.html "I think that if she had spared Henry, after she pulled him up he'd have pushed her over the ledge, while laughing evilly and maniacally as the mom fell. Would have been an entertaining and believable alternate ending."
Damn it! I took a power nap 😴, and missed the premiere ! P.S. she'll survive, as long as she knows how to love I know she'll stay alive ( let me stop) OMG Hush, hush sweet Charlotte is one of my all time favorite movies
Gotta love the twist to this film. I didn't even expect it to happen. I forgot about The Good Son reference. I think the main villian this time is Julia Stiles as her charcther's son accidently killed the real Esther by accident and she and her son were going to kill Leena until a 3 including the dad all died.
Great review 👍🏼. This movie should have been a comedy lol. I laughed through the whole movie. Esther with that grown face was hilarious. The mother (Julia Stiles) was the only scary and good part of the movie.
Every video I await with bated breath until I hear "the gag is..." "The son's a dick" 🤣 How the hell did she get to Moscow from Connecticut allegedly? This shit was never going to make sense 🤔
I just watched it. And.. The original movie is 2 hours and 3 minutes. This one was merely 1 hour and 39 minutes. It felt rushed. So it's too short and a bit rushed. But.. While that plot twist honestly wasn't too far fetched, it made a cardinal sin; it made us *root* for Esther/Leena and that's just not right, because she's supposed to be the villain. Not be constantly on the defense, and basically be a victim/hostage.. I can think of a better twist myself; *Leena kills the missing child herself and assumes her identity* There! Problem solved. And I honestly thought that this was what they were going for, judging by the trailer.. It was nice seeing Leena/Esther again though. The forced perspective, kid body doubles etc that people have been complaining about is no different than that of the forced perspective and kid body doubles regarding the hobbitts in LOTR, and people loved that while overlooking it completely! Let's not kid ourselves here. People want to complain! And there's the fact that the original movie was a horror thriller, this was almost a horror comedy?
So what you're saying is you two should've written this movie 😁 Thank you sooo much for breaking this down because I thought they waited too long to make a prequel. Isabelle Fuhrman definitely looks older than a 10 year old and if it's not her first kill then what's the point of calling it that?! 🙃I also agree that they should've focused on the origin of Esther and the first family she killed. Side note: Good to see Julia Stiles is still here!
Am I wrong to have wanted some of Esther's art from the first movie. Lowkey I thought it was cool when you flipped to see the "real" pictures via blue light 🤔..
Your idea would’ve been sooo much better. The weird way the mom and son were acting threw me off so much and it didn’t make any sense why until the reveal but by then I was so disconnected.
Suspenseful thriller with a twist. At one point you feel bad for Ether on how the family plotted vengeance on her. We all knew how the film was going to end. That's the thing with presequal's
@Beastbombshell reminded me of watching Hannibal for the first time. Could not believe how good it was to be on network TV. But with it now on streaming. It’s even better.
You guys killed it with this one, absolutely hit all the spots. Heard nothing of this movie coming out. And your review just proved I was right in not seeking it out, despite the sprinkles of goodness. Very true, too bad a homosexual didn't write this.
So you guys wanted a Dynasty/Orphan movie? That works for me. 😊 If the father really missed his daughter why didn’t he go with his wife to get her? I think the family was living off of money from Julia.
Great review this ones gonna b a pass for me, Thanka for the heads up guys! Have u guys seen the movie The pizzagate massacre? I believe it has an alternate title of Duncan. Saw it on Amazon prime last night and threw it on thinking it would put me to sleep. I was pleasantly surprised. In the movie description it was categorized as suspense/comedy. I found it more as a suspense/drama tbh. Very low budget, satirical take on our modern day political climate. Loosely based on the comet ping pong shooting in D.C.. from a couple years ago. I'd love to hear u guys take on it if u ever get around to seeing it. The Male lead(character of duncan) was excellent. I found myself sympathizing with him at times during the film even though hes kind of a lunatic. The major confrontation in the 3rd act was intense with great effects given the supposed budget. I'm sure u guys have dozens upon dozens of movies to watch and review but if u get a chance check this one out, I'd love to hear ur thoughts
You guys mentioned my biggest problem- I had no clue who I was supposed to be rooting for! Everybody was crazy! And I definitely couldn’t root for the dad (they always make the dads clueless in these movies). Thus, I didn’t care who died. I liked the first one but this one was meh… did love Julia Stiles performance though.
I agree with a lot of your reviews on this. Like the mom knew that wasn't her daughter and she didn't say anything for that long. Also the art teacher or whatever was kinda dumb in this. She made a lot of bad decisions. So many things to point out but thanks to you for making this review.
Yes, because the darker "alternate ending" of part 1 is most certainly the *real* ending. And in that one, Esther/Leena won! A sequel starting from that would have been awesome.
Ugh another potentially amazing movie ruined by a lack of consistency and... BRAINS. So glad I clicked on this video first lol. Freakin movie productions need to start doing more homeworkkkkkkkk
I actually really enjoyed Orphan First Kill, it was really entertaining and the acting was pretty good. If you are a true horror fan you will enjoy it of course you have to suspend belief in certain scenes, but that’s a horror film for ya. Both my boyfriend and I enjoyed it.
I like the twist. I loved seeing the mother and son having Lena sweat (especially when compared to her methodical, cold, confident self in The Orphan), but I felt like she was not as active as I thought she would be when it came to the family's demise! Her and the mother are fighting, and somehow a fire got started. Then the father found out she was not his daughter by squishing her cheeks so hard her false teeth come out, and died because he backed away out of shock and stepped off the house. I always thought that she would flick a match and the fire would go up in a blaze, and the camera would show a bunch of bloody bodies lying all over the house. They did try to do a little competition with the mom and Lena. Lena was trying to get the (sexual), affection of the dad, and I wish they had done more with that. I don't think this should have been a campy film because the first movie was very serious. I think with better writers, they could've done a great job.
This was a very predictable movie, except for the big twist. The question is, does the twist make up for the predictability? I think it kinda does, because it's a twist that you don't see coming.
If this had been written as an 'evil clone' comeback, it could be tolerable? As a gimmick, using camera tricks to confuse is okay if that was on purpose too! So, what's the idea of the other people who "knows" the real killer here, and yet exploit and release her? As usual, your summary was enjoyable!
Rather you do a sequel or Prequel you're still stuck in the same situation the actor is going to look older than the character is supposed to be and you will get the same problem. The most likely reason for the Prequel route is because the first movie wraps the story up and there's nowhere else to go after that so they figured maybe we can tell the origins which in another way also puts them in a box as well. The truth is this never needed a follow-up the first was fine as a stand-alone but from what I have heard about this one it sounds like it has some camp fun. The point of making the family evil is so you don't feel sorry for them when they die and also so they don't have to redo the first.
Just watched this on paramount tonight and wow did it have a crap ton of plot holes. I mean to be sure it was the little girl, rather than sneak around and get her fingerprints, they should have done that first right? There were little things like that all over the place that didn’t make sense. I’m glad I watched it from home on a Friday night. It passed the time. Julia stiles was excellent.
Definitely agree Julia's part was the best part of the film. The part that really pissed me was off was at the end with Ester walking through a burning house like it was nothing. Bitch the smoke alone would have made u pass out. Too unrealistic. 1 out of 5.
Frédéric Pierre Bourdin was the imposter that pretended to be Nicolas Barclay (true story). The whole family went along with it even though the mother and brother knew it wasn't him because... the real Nicolas was killed by his brother. The issue I have with this movie is the way it was executed. Her busting out of the institute in the beginning was almost as silly as the ending sequence of the film. Over the top and not believable at all. It also makes no sense that the mom and brother would be so hostile towards her when they need her to play the role of Ester. They planned to kill her but said it was too soon, and then immediately after that she tries to poison her. I hate the way this film was written and directed. The story itself had a lot of potential.
Great review, hit many things I thought watching the movie. Esther most definitely didn't look like a little girl at all and you could tell all the shots of her from behind they clearly had a real child playing those parts, the front facing shots I'm like umm she looks like she's on her knees 🤣. I was immediately annoyed with the inspector that came to the house. I'm like you're now trying to find out her identity instead of checking that first before having the mom fly to pick up her daughter? Also who does that? Wouldn't officers bring the child home? They had the mom pick her up? Ok sure. Then he comes by the first time and wants to set up a meeting and he's told that the mom has something going on the next day but what does dumb dumb do? He shows up the next day anyway only to snoop around the house with the kids there. Takes a record from Esther room it pisses me off how dumb he is so I can't wait for Esther to get his nosy ass 🤣. I thought it was funny how Julia Stiles felt like her son was an over achiever or something cause he was good at fencing 🤣. I didn't get the feeling that they were super rich either because she was happy that her husband could now go out and start selling his paintings again like they needed the money. The awkward way the father was smooshing Esther's face at the end while standing on this steep part of the roof was so weird lmao. Then him immediately calling her a monster lmfao... I was like what? Yeah no. I kept talking about that damn mouse like what is that? Why is this mouse there and all friendly lmao that was just dumb. It was an ok watch but it could have been so much better.
She’s a grown ass woman! From the trailer the de-aging stuff looks awful. You guys need to write a horror movie. Monster walks in and you guys say…Bull Shit you are a monster… and not a very good one.
I think u missed it, its all about subverting expectations even down to the first kill name. when the twist happens later on its great, i liked that it didn't linger long coz would have gotten boring in my mind. 3 murderous characters trying to not kill each other would have been more a comedy. The presence of a rat or a mouse in a house usualy means that its well stocked with food etc, made sence to me. there was some stuff that was a little weird but I loved the movie, the twist payoff was a great surprise.
I wish we'd have more fresh ideas for this prequel and less mirroring from the first film. I think the story should have taken place in a different setting, with Esther/Leena becoming progressively a killer and crafting her childlike appearance. If It actually began with her first kill, we could have had room for new stories and perhaps have a trilogy. It was also a big departure from the established atmosphere of Orphan. I wasn't impressed by the supporting cast, Vera Farmiga brought so much depth and emotions in the first one, It's kinda disappointing to not reach the same level with Julia Stiles.
I skipped this as soon as I heard it was a prequel, mostly because.....THE ACTRESS IS OBVIOUSLY A LOT OLDER PLAYING ESTHER. It just looks silly. Should've just been a sequel. But in surprised more people didn't catch on to the fact that this new family is a hint on the Ramsey's, as in Jon Benet. It's widely believe Jon Benets mom knew what happened and covered it up, whether it was the son(Burke)like in the movie or not is still unknown but yea...totally the Ramsey's.
I love the idea of the women squaring off with one another absolutely 💯…this movie had so much potential to be so much more but ended up a total LET DOWN
@@patrickriachi7352 That's because given the fact it's a prequel they know you know Ester will live so they wanted to make the family evil so you didn't care if they died.
Not if you count the deleted ending.. Rule of thumb; when a horror movie has a dark and dreary so-called "alternate ending", you can bet your money on the fact that this is the *real ending*
They couldn't make a sequel to Orphan because Esther dies at the end. The mom kicks her in the face, breaks her neck and Esther falls beneath the ice.
THEY COULD STILL DO A SEQUEL BECAUSE THE FIRST MOVIE HAD AN ALTERNATE ENDING WHERE SHE SURVIVED
“I’ve worked in a psych ward…2 of them actually “ imma need that story ASAP 😅
Yes please share that story
You guys are so funny. It's like discussing movies with friends. God bless you.
Julia Stiles playing an antagonist was probably the best part of this film.
Yet, it reminds me of her performance in the Omen..
Glad I didn't pay to see it.
It was so surprising to me I was like what in the jean bene ramsey is going on here?!
“If only we had let a homosexual write this…” 🤣🤣🤣
But then it's gonna turn into "Hello Daddy", "Thank you Daddy", "I know Daddy", "Yes Daddy".
Also the training the woman with candy followed by "As one does..."
That Estonian mental institution had the worst security guards of all time 🤣
* Not telling an aspiring employee how she'd be working with the most notorious of the Institute, who has the body of a child.
* Not securing a room, before locking that woman in the room, and demanding her stay in there, also failing to mention who Leena really was.
* One guard being a flirty dumbass, getting himself killed for that matter.
* Another guard failing to keep the facility on lockdown, better yet failing to handle against a single mental patient, despite being armed.
And ultimately: *Failing to inform the police and initiate a lockdown and manhunt for Leena Klammer, who poses as a child, and is extremely manipulative and dangerous, which allowed her to easily con an uninformed police officer into having her brought into the embassy, and shipped into the United States.*

This was a very predictable movie, except for the big twist. The question is, does the twist make up for the predictability? I think it kinda does, because it's a twist that you don't see coming.
If this had been written as an 'evil clone' comeback, it could be tolerable? As a gimmick, using camera tricks to confuse is okay if that was on purpose too! So, what's the idea of the other people who "knows" the real killer here, and yet exploit and release her? As usual, your summary was enjoyable!
LMAO! This movie was silly fun so it was okay to me.
Rather you do a sequel or Prequel you're still stuck in the same situation the actor is going to look older than the character is supposed to be and you will get the same problem. The most likely reason for the Prequel route is because the first movie wraps the story up and there's nowhere else to go after that so they figured maybe we can tell the origins which in another way also puts them in a box as well. The truth is this never needed a follow-up the first was fine as a stand-alone but from what I have heard about this one it sounds like it has some camp fun. The point of making the family evil is so you don't feel sorry for them when they die and also so they don't have to redo the first.
This review was hilarious!!🤣🤣 I haven’t seen the first movie nor the prequel.🤷🏾♀️
Just watched this on paramount tonight and wow did it have a crap ton of plot holes. I mean to be sure it was the little girl, rather than sneak around and get her fingerprints, they should have done that first right? There were little things like that all over the place that didn’t make sense. I’m glad I watched it from home on a Friday night. It passed the time. Julia stiles was excellent.
When are y’all gonna do breaking?
We didn’t have time for that one.
Definitely agree Julia's part was the best part of the film. The part that really pissed me was off was at the end with Ester walking through a burning house like it was nothing. Bitch the smoke alone would have made u pass out. Too unrealistic. 1 out of 5.
Frédéric Pierre Bourdin was the imposter that pretended to be Nicolas Barclay (true story). The whole family went along with it even though the mother and brother knew it wasn't him because... the real Nicolas was killed by his brother. The issue I have with this movie is the way it was executed. Her busting out of the institute in the beginning was almost as silly as the ending sequence of the film. Over the top and not believable at all. It also makes no sense that the mom and brother would be so hostile towards her when they need her to play the role of Ester. They planned to kill her but said it was too soon, and then immediately after that she tries to poison her. I hate the way this film was written and directed. The story itself had a lot of potential.
Great review, hit many things I thought watching the movie. Esther most definitely didn't look like a little girl at all and you could tell all the shots of her from behind they clearly had a real child playing those parts, the front facing shots I'm like umm she looks like she's on her knees 🤣. I was immediately annoyed with the inspector that came to the house. I'm like you're now trying to find out her identity instead of checking that first before having the mom fly to pick up her daughter? Also who does that? Wouldn't officers bring the child home? They had the mom pick her up? Ok sure. Then he comes by the first time and wants to set up a meeting and he's told that the mom has something going on the next day but what does dumb dumb do? He shows up the next day anyway only to snoop around the house with the kids there. Takes a record from Esther room it pisses me off how dumb he is so I can't wait for Esther to get his nosy ass 🤣. I thought it was funny how Julia Stiles felt like her son was an over achiever or something cause he was good at fencing 🤣. I didn't get the feeling that they were super rich either because she was happy that her husband could now go out and start selling his paintings again like they needed the money. The awkward way the father was smooshing Esther's face at the end while standing on this steep part of the roof was so weird lmao. Then him immediately calling her a monster lmfao... I was like what? Yeah no. I kept talking about that damn mouse like what is that? Why is this mouse there and all friendly lmao that was just dumb. It was an ok watch but it could have been so much better.
Yea I dont get the teeth thing either.
Lol I have jacked teeth from years of drug use. Good to know I’m a monster. 👹
I loved this movie but I just have one problem... why would they add esther's father to the imdb cast list he wasn't even in the movie.
She’s a grown ass woman! From the trailer the de-aging stuff looks awful. You guys need to write a horror movie. Monster walks in and you guys say…Bull Shit you are a monster… and not a very good one.
the first orhan much better
I think u missed it, its all about subverting expectations even down to the first kill name. when the twist happens later on its great, i liked that it didn't linger long coz would have gotten boring in my mind. 3 murderous characters trying to not kill each other would have been more a comedy.
The presence of a rat or a mouse in a house usualy means that its well stocked with food etc, made sence to me.
there was some stuff that was a little weird but I loved the movie, the twist payoff was a great surprise.
I wish we'd have more fresh ideas for this prequel and less mirroring from the first film. I think the story should have taken place in a different setting, with Esther/Leena becoming progressively a killer and crafting her childlike appearance. If It actually began with her first kill, we could have had room for new stories and perhaps have a trilogy. It was also a big departure from the established atmosphere of Orphan. I wasn't impressed by the supporting cast, Vera Farmiga brought so much depth and emotions in the first one, It's kinda disappointing to not reach the same level with Julia Stiles.
I skipped this as soon as I heard it was a prequel, mostly because.....THE ACTRESS IS OBVIOUSLY A LOT OLDER PLAYING ESTHER. It just looks silly. Should've just been a sequel. But in surprised more people didn't catch on to the fact that this new family is a hint on the Ramsey's, as in Jon Benet. It's widely believe Jon Benets mom knew what happened and covered it up, whether it was the son(Burke)like in the movie or not is still unknown but yea...totally the Ramsey's.
I hope someone upload good son
There’s No Staff🤩
I love the idea of the women squaring off with one another absolutely 💯…this movie had so much potential to be so much more but ended up a total LET DOWN
Poor Julia Stiles.
She went from the remake of the omen to this. We shall see
Julia Stiles and her family are the real villains in this movie and Ester is basically the anti-hero
@@christophernaylon249 yeah julia stiles was so evil in this film
@@patrickriachi7352 That's because given the fact it's a prequel they know you know Ester will live so they wanted to make the family evil so you didn't care if they died.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So they copied the true story of Nicholas Barclay
why is everyone saying sequel..seriously shes full dead in the original smh
Not if you count the deleted ending.. Rule of thumb; when a horror movie has a dark and dreary so-called "alternate ending", you can bet your money on the fact that this is the *real ending*
@Beastbombshell yes, indeed. The deleted unhappy ending in the original is miles better than the lame happy theatrical ending
