Esther took the term “looks can be deceiving” to an entirely different level. It was frightening how manipulative and smart she was until the end.

Never noticed the detail of Esther putting on Daniel’s HR monitor so that staff isn’t notified. And the fact that the low rate indicates how calm she is? Genius!

At the orphanage, when John asks Ester who taught her to paint, she says she just had a lot of time to practise. Looking back, she meant that literally... 'cause she's been alive for 33 years.

While this probably isn’t what the directors thought of doing, I saw someone explain that it made sense that ester looked older in first kill because this was before she fully mastered making herself appear younger.

Man, Isabella deserved all the acting awards, she did a great job as Esther and seeing behind the scenes of her taking about playing her shows she put her all in performing

"If I find out that you're lying, I'll cut your hairless little prick off before figure out what it's for." THAT line. I'm grown and that would've scared me into silence. The way it was delivered was so cold. Like. . .DAYUM!

I actually REALLY LOVE that they kept the same actress Isabelle Furhman for Orphan: First Kill. Her looking a bit older makes it seem like she hasn’t mastered her scheme yet. She hasn’t learned to wear the prosthetic teeth and do her makeup properly to look like the child she looks like in the first movie. It actually works that she looks older. They say in the first movie that she has done this scheme several times assuming perfecting it and learning each time.

I do wonder how avoidable this movie would have been had Kate had an actually good therapist. "Kate, In all due respect, are you in a position to give an adopted child a stable life? You haven't fully healed from Jessica's death and we both know how deeply hurt you are by your husband's infidelity and lies. While I respect and admire that you have so much love to give, I don't think it will heal you in the way you're hoping it will."

"But she misses her shot because she is five years old" Damn if only movies were like that

The "but she misses her shot because she's five years old" part made me laugh longer than it probably should've

Esther took the term Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss to a whole other level

The scene of Ester gleefully giving Jessica's flowers to Kate is one of the most psychologically torturous things I've ever seen in a horror movie.

James's ability to subtly slip in puns, references, jokes, etc. one by one like it's nothing is really impressive.

i remember when this movie came out. i was in high school at the time and everyone was talking about it, but surprisingly still keeping the twist a secret, which was kinda cool

When James says "Go watch this movie before the Kill Count" I always trust him, and damn am I always happy I did. Awesome movie.

I actually think it really works that Isabelle Fuhrman is older in the prequel. It's like Leema hasn't quite mastered making herself look like a child just yet like she eventually does pretty damn perfectly in Orphan.

In the original script, there's actually a reason Esther tries to seduce John. When Esther/Leena was a child, her mother died of AIDS, and her father sexually abused her, which resulted in her becoming infertile. Once her father took another lover, he told her that it was because of her condition and that she could never be a real woman. End result: Leena murdered her father and his paramour, and she was sent to the Saarne Institute. Because of this screwed-up childhood, whenever she was adopted, she'd always try to find love where she thought she had it as a child - with the father. Also, as an Australian, I'm fuckin' stoked to see Wolf Creek get the Kill Count treatment!

I was adopted, this was my favourite horror movie as a kid. I’m so nervous for the prequel, it better not be a disappointment! This movie was honestly perfect on its own

The green ribbon reference made my day, in all my 28 years, never have i met another who read the green ribbon. That story scarred me as a kid, until i became so numb to horror lol. I miss that book of weird and creepy stories
