The Orphan Movies Are Absolutely Absurd
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2024
- Orphan is one of the most memorable horror movies of the 2000s (in my opinion), and has one of the craziest twists that I've ever seen in a horror movie. With the prequel movie Orphan: First Kill recently coming out, I decided to review both films to see how they stack up against each other. In this video, I go through the plots of both movies and give my thoughts on the absurdity of this franchise. Let me know in the comments what you think about these movies, and make sure to subscribe!

I actually think the fact that Esther looks older in the prequel works well...like, she hadnt perfected her act yet
Oooh I like this idea
It doesn't really make sense, she should look the same as in the original movie since she can't age and this movie is a prequel. But the producers decided not to use visual effects on the actress's face.
@@Threeleebird OK. That's my opinion.
@@Threeleebirdokay buzzkill😂
@@Threeleebird But the Esther character has dwarfism and is actually a 33 year old woman, the character didn't age, I think you got it wrong because it's supposed to be that she cannot grow any bigger and taller than the height of a nine year old. But this is a prequel movie, so it's in her past and it's not recent so it makes sense because she just might have not perfected her make-up and disguise skills yet. There, I tried making what the commenter said more clearer and detailed.
The twist in the prequel is based on a true story. An adult con artist in France impersonated a lost kid named Nicolas Barclay, and when he was caught, he and the PI that exposed him came out and said they believed Nicholas was murdered by his own family, specifically his brother, and that they were subtlety helping him cover his lies.
Damn I didn’t know that. Crazy
That is interesting.
Yeah, after watching the documentary, I believe the family definitely had something to do with the boy going missing. Seems pretty obvious that the older brother probably killed him
@jasonmay2023 I have yet to watch it but it does seem interesting to say the least.
was it the older brother or the uncle? cause some reports say his uncle who had anger issues began tutoring nicolas who was a bit mentally disabled and him not understanding made the uncle go crazy and kill him and the family helped cover it up cause they considered him a nuisance anyways
According to a script I read, she WANTED max as her child- bcuz she wanted a child and a husband since she couldn't do either. But she tried to kill her? Honestly makes no sense.
Lmao so ridiculous
The mind of a psychopath and sociopath are not meant to be understood. They are insane. What makes sense to them doesn’t make sense to anyone who was rational.
I mean, by that point, she'd gone completely batshit and already k1lled John, she was trying to reset and start over
she only in front of the car to distract the nun I don’t think she really cares about max that much
For the age gap, in my mind she just got really good at make-up.
I’ll accept it lol
I wish OG Orphan kept part of the original script. The fact she kill another girl at the Orphanage name Yolanda who the family was going to adopt. Her reading about sex from a Cosmopolitan out loud to Max at the Grocery. Her actually killing Danny in the hospital. When that one Estonian Doctor goes into deeper detail about her aside from her being 33 like her being rape by her dad and him telling her she will never be a woman and killing him and his new lover, then selling her body to dirty pedobears for sex. All of these should never been left out.
Yooo I had no idea all that was originally in the script wtf. That would have made the movie way crazier. I think adding the stuff with Esther’s dad would have given more context on why she is the way she is which would have been nice
@@trayclancy I don't know why the writers and director left those important details out. Would of given the movie better context. here's part of the OG script.
Sister Abigail leads the NUNS and LAY ASSISTANTS in a search of
the home, looking for Yolanda. The playroom, art room, chapel,
classrooms, laundry room, rest rooms.-- they're all empty.
INT. HOME FOR GIRLS - BASEMENT - MORNING
A young-nun, SISTER JUDITH, walks downstairs into -a dark storage-
area. Lots of hiding places. -
SISTER JUDITH
Yolanda? Are you hiding-down here?
Then she notices a closet behind her. The door. is ajar. She
reaches out, opens it... and nearly gags at what she sees inside.
LOW ANGIL - INSIDE THE CLOSET
A child's bare feet dangle in mi , , a .,im3. The "Travel Turtle" is on
the floor beneath them. - A chair lies on its side nearby.
@@trayclancy Kate waits in line -at the check-out. Esther and-Max are with her.
Aw .Kate pushes her cart up to the-counter, she looks over and sees
the nearby'"WINE & SPIRITS" aisle. No big. deal, just a passing
glance, a flash of idle distraction. Her eyes unreadable. Then:
ESTHER (O.S.)
What kind of sex do men crave most?
Kate-looks back, shocked. Esther has picked up a "COSMOPOLITAN"
from the newsstand and is'reading the cover aloud-to Max.
KATE
Put that away. Don't look at those.
Kate puts the magazine back. There are several others just like
it at kids-eye level. "Orgasms UNLIMITED!" "Thrill EVERY INCH- Of
Him J" Kate'sighs and-'starts putting groceries on the conveyer.-
ESTHER
"How To Hit Your G-spot Every Time."
Kate whirls. Esther has picked up the same magazine. Kate
angrily snatches it and pulls Esther toward her. Max startles.
@@supratrd900 yo that’s so wild 😭 they definitely should have left this in
Oh
Honestly the only problem with the second movie is that she absolutely look like an adult and I kept getting EXTREMELY confused because I kept forgetting that everyone thought she was a kid 💀
"I've never followed an English-speaking RUclipsr before, but your humor is so brilliant that I endure it with my really bad English. I'm currently binge-watching all the videos, and so far, this is my absolute favorite. Keep it up, greetings from Germany."
Thank you so much I feel so honored!! Glad you’re e enjoying
@@trayclancy im talking Elite 🍆 😂😂😂❤️
why the quotation marks 😭😭🤦
@@sleepysombre4307 because they probably translated that entire text
The original Orphan is based on a true story, and not terribly loosely either. I actually remember the news story of the family who adapted a child who turned out to be insane and later finds out the kid was actually an adult who had some condition making them small and young looking and posed as child to get adopted. It was one of the craziest news stores I’ve ever heard, no doubt why they immediately started production on a movie
Natalia Grace? There was some DNA evidence that came out revealing she actually was a kid.
@@starrsmith3810 Probably what they are referencing but the story itself was actually based on a Czech woman or something if I remember correctly. She posed as a 13 year old boy tho
@@starrsmith3810 No not that girl at all, maybe a little I guess idk. But the one that Orphan is based off of is a story of Barbora Skrlova, a 33 year old woman who had dwarfism, and has apparently committed child abuse or something. So she was on the run from the police and went to a family and disguised herself as a 13 year old boy so they adopted her I think. But it's definitely not Natalia Grace since there would be very little relation between a true story and a movie.
@@Snartfoodler its Barbora Skrlova
8:14 bro that kick and laugh took me out
😂😂
The crazy thing is that their are people who look 9 but are 25 so for someone like that to potentially be a creepy, seriel killer is wild.
SORRY.. THE ORPHAN MOVIES??? PLURAL?????? I THOUGHT THERE WAS ONLY ONE???? that movie TRAUMATIZED me AS A CHILD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THERE'S A SECOND ONE??
😂😂 she’s come back to traumatize a new generation
there's a prequel
And there might be a 3rd one, too 😈
Second one was terrible
"Or-finns"
And somehow, it’s based on a true story. Not even loosely this exact situation happened somewhere in Norway
Insane 😂
Well thats certainly interesting. I'm Norwegian and I've never heard about this
I actually remember this news story, family adopts strange child until later finding out she was an INSANE adult. And thinking it was one of the most insane news stories I’ve ever heard. Unsurprisingly, movie production started shortly after
Orphans after adopted : yayyy finally an family its so bad in the orphanage
Her for some reason : yayyy I can kill freely now!
The first Orphan movie is a fascinating watch, but honestly I think I also prefer the prequel because it leans into the absurdity and actually makes you root for Esther/Lena. I wouldn’t mind seeing another movie or even a mini-series about the various fucked up families Esther cons her way into and eventually kills. She’s really interesting as a protagonist.
Funfact: Orphan is based on a real incident,a russian woman with dwarfism pretended to be an orphan so she could rob who ever adopted her
Crazy
I thought medical, dental and her birth record at the hospital proved she was actually still a child. I think her own birthmother confirmed her age was 11
This comment has been said about Norway, France, Russia, and at least one more country 😅
This movisme was not based on Natalia Grace.@@sabrinastratton1991
💀
"How do you accidentally kill your sister? And why was he beating her ass?"
Here I can tell that you didn't have any sisters as a child.
Bruhh what?
ure sick
@@feefs4763 no You’re sick, you just assumed something that they didn’t say and judged them for it.
The most direct with least assumptions interpretation is that this is a joke about how siblings always fight and when they are little kids, those fights are always physical until they grow up and you teach them not to fight each other like that. It’s a joke on how kids behave naturally. STFU
Orphan has never sounded so hilarious yo, you got me cracking up fam
😂😂😂
Recently discovered your channel and have been a fan of it ever since. Love your reviews. Keep making them !
Thank you so much! Really glad you’re enjoying
Hey man, you showed up in my recs. Keep up the great work, enjoy your edits and commentary a lot!!
Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying
There's just something terrifying about little girls , the fact that there are some who fall in love like that? Couldn't be me fr 😭😭😭
Good commentary as always 👍🏾 🧚🏾♀️
Right! 😂😂 it’s wild. And thank you so much! 🙏🏾🤝
To be fair with the talk between Daniel and Max, considering the earlier scene at dinner where he asks his parents what Max was trying to say, I don’t think he’s that good at sign language.
To be honest, the way she handles the bully at school and the way she handles Danny, the jerk stepbrother has me firmly on Esther side in the first movie, plus I don’t really like Vera Farmiga in the first place
16:18 what is that picture lmao
ESTONIA MENTIONED RAHHHHHH 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
I love the OG Orphan film and think that it is some of the best in the horror genre I have ever seen. But this prequel is something I don't really appreciate. In the first movie, when she is turning the lights of her paintings on and off and showing the house in flames, it made me love the fact that they were all innocent and helpless against her and her killing the children within that previous family was also crazy. I honestly don't dig the twist of this next installment and prefer the implications of how she dealt with the previous family the OG Oprhan film already gave to us. But other than that man, this was such a great review of them and I hope to see more content! 💯
Very fair points! Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed 🙏🏾
@trayclancy Thanks, I will always love what the OG Orphan film did for me as a fan personally. I look forward to seeing it again and hopefully there may be some better content for it out there to go over. But for now, it is best that it is left the way it is without any other stuff tarnishing it like how this new prequel has sort of done in my opinion. I hope to see more stuff from you my friend because this was such a delight so please bring out more if you can with your content! 💯
Loved both movies & your commentary!! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so much!
man i just found your channel and im such a big fan now youre sooooooo underrated keep up the work ily
Thank you so much ily2! 🙏🏾
@@trayclancy can’t thank the algorithm enough for recommending you today i’ve been binging all your videos
4:34 Max never learned to use sign language, I'm shocked he even learned to understand it considering the way he is
Ok you got me with that second movie. I did not expect that hahah.
😂😂
as a nine year old i liked painting / reading and talking in different voices / characters i thought were funny to myself so im 100% i must've looked insane in retrospect
The plot twist in the second movie made zero sense. Making a 'mutually beneficial arrangement' to keep husband happy? And the unnecessary, out-of-nowhere villain speeches from mom and brother? "I own you! This is America" and "I'm going to fuck my husband now" was just fuckin comedy
Lmaoooo
The father is crazy ASF how you believe a orphan over your own actual child 😭
😭😭😭
3:31 got me. I almost screamed laughing at the office XD
Lmaooo 😭😭
one of my favorite videos of yours so far its like you put so much effort into these
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed 🤝
The Orphan was actually the first horror film I ever watched. The type of horror I lean towards is definitely different to this, but it’s genuinely a great
I think you're my new favorite youtube channel. I can't stop watching your vids.
Thank you so much this means a lot!!
bro your videos are literally incredible keep up good great work
Thanks bro!! Will do 🫡
how is your channel this small this is some good content
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Another bangerrrrr. Thanks bro!
Of course 🫡
11:56 caught in 4k ULTRA HD..... Imao!! 😅
Btw I just binged 10 videos.. Your humour is so good. You just turns every horror movie into comedy and I really loving this.. Hope to see more of your content in future! ❤ From India
Thank you so much!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying ❤️
😭😭😭amazing commentary
😂😂 thank you!!
I think it's extremely weird that they got a 12 year old actress to that stuff in the first movie
The second movie/prequel twist was sadistic asf 😂😂😂😂 a W 2 part franchise imo
Very funny Good analysis ! Keep it up 👍🏾
Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Bro your funny af I forgot I subbed to you but I’m glad I did i loved all your funny ass memes you used I can tell ya ass black 😂😂😂I love orphan the first movie is def a classic but tbh I didn’t like the second one as much it felt very oddly paced and honestly this just woulda worked better as like a limited series or something
😂😂 thanks bro! And yeah I feel you I definitely think the decision to make a prequel was pretty odd. I was pretty high when I watched it so I thought it was funny as hell
dawg ur commentary is fuckin gold
Haha much appreciated! 🙏🏾
Bro the editing is top tier
Thanks bro! Much appreciated 🙏
You keep asking ‘why wiuld Ester do that?’ As if she isn’t…you know….insane. She’s a killer with a record so yes, hiding as a minor in someone’s home is a good way to hide. And many serial killers keep trophys of their past crimes, seems dumb but there’s that whole insane part..so. As a woman in an psych ward who physically resembles a child I am sure she’s met her share a pedos who were happy to either use her or give into her advances and since it seems like she didn’t have much of a normal childhood even while being an actual child, her skewed world view of how men might respond of she simply gets mom out the way would make sense to a twisted mind like hers. Yeah the character is 30, but how much normalcy has she had in 30 years.
Also they did actually use camera tricks to make the actress look younger in the prequel. They did it with Practical effects over CGI, like they did in LoTR with the Hobbits vs normal size humans. The actress isn’t as short as they made her look in the prequel. I mean her face still looked older, but height she isn’t like that short.
Orphan is a classic already imo!
Esther was soo cute as a kid. strange but so cute. I loved the first movie, i haven't sen the 2nd one... I've heard it is horrible but IDK, I think i need to watch :p
13:59 ooooh, that’s the Patsy Ramsey story
Allegedly
The first one fucked me up as a kid, especially since I was forced to watch it!
She reminds me of Chucky lol She’s a blast to watch! You’re so funny OMG 😆
She’s hilarious 😂 and thank you!!
I love this so much and appreciate we even got a film like this at all.
I wanted more sequel for the [The Orphan]...but because of the age of that 1st actress, Isabelle, it might be too late.
Lmao yo bro ur videos are prime time!!! This is gold 😂
Thank you brother!!! 😂😂
honestly the twist kinda works and it did get me like original but the first one was better
this movie freak me out as a kid
I was like that when I was 9 too lol
Orphan is based on a disturbing true story of a woman, Barbora Skrlová, who posed as a 13-year-old boy in Norway. A similar incident occurred years after the release of Orphan, where an Indiana couple adopted a Ukrainian girl, Natalia Grace, who exhibited troubling behavior like Skrlová.
them guys definitely didnt die in a house fire tho - wouldnt that be kinda sus?? also good video my bro
Thank you brother!
He should call himself the paragraph guy
I’m sorry I was so happy when John was killed because HE pissed me off more than Esther did! He was the TRUE villain
Watched both and I wish she would have won in the first one
Idk if youll see this but when you show your channel page there's a ton of videos that arent there anymore! Why you take them down :(
I privated all of the non-horror movies to be more consistent. When I start a Patreon I’ll put them on there!
Why is 3:10 the most replayed clip?
Cant tell if trolling with putting Prometheus in with “good prequels” 😅
Okay people here saying it's inspired by a russian case, or a case in Norway. It's none of this, it's based on a Czech media news story (I am from Czechia) about a woman named Barbora Skrlová, happened in May of 2007. I was kid back then but vividly remember the news, you can even check it's mentioned in wiki. She was like around 30 or so and belonged to some cult along with her 'adoptive mom'.
The I’m not your fucking mommy line is a homage/reference to a line in the American Ring sequel when Noami Watts character screams I’m not your mommy to Samara before locking her back in the well. That movie was pretty terrible too 😂
Why tf did she shoot the investigator
I actually seen this movie when I was young and I only saw the first part
For real, the men in horror movies can’t think their way out of a wet paper bag. It’s actually insane.
Lmao your commentary always makes me laugh
😂😂 I’m glad!!
15:25
Erm actually… fencing swords can’t actually stab you but it would require an insane amount of force, this is because the blades are ball pointed and are incredibly flexible. So stabbing wouldn’t really be possible, instead just cutting your skin. ☝️🤓
3:24 I mean, if you have kids that’s kind of just weird and what time did this happen like if it was like at 3 AM like no nine-year-old actually goes to bed at their certain bedtime yeah
Bro I love ur vids pls keep it up❤
Thanks bro!! I got you ❤️
@@trayclancy bro can u give me a shoutout pls I run a Fnaf channel called Lilchops12 it would help a HUGE amount because I enjoy what I do and I want to show people what I do and like Thnk u❤️❤️❤️
this movie sounds extremely believable, the twist part, because i remember seeing about a chick thats like 25 30 but is in a 9 year old's body
and it's so weird because as you said, "nothing could hint at her not actually being a kid". like she talks like a kid, looks like a kid, her voice, inflexions, everything. just WHAT SHE SAYS is "adult-like"
much like the kid in this movie. at least from what im getting.
that condition is fucking horrible btw, because one of 2 things happen: you either are never able to truly connect to someone, specially on a romantic level, because it's fucking weird, OR whoever ends up with you is permanently labeled a pedophile because they're essentially dating a of age kid
They should have just used CGI in the prequel... she does not look younger like u mentioned
Where did all his other videos go?
I didn't enjoy all the fake out jump scares in the first film. I found that annoying. I preferred the prequel
The old looking esther in that kid outfit is really off putting
Its based on a real life story i think. Its just that in real life no one dies
They aren't horror and that scary at all, but they do make good thrillers.
UNDERRATED
THANK YOU 🙏🏾
Can someone pls tell me the name of the song at the end of the video.
Get down Saturday night by Oliver cheatham
2:26 the introverted ones
03:04 where are all these secret clancy videos and why can't i see them??
I private all my non-horror stuff :/
Isabelle the actor is a year older then me, when orphan came out I had a huge crush on her 🤣 idk if I’m fkd up
😂😂
I liked the Prequel the best 🎉🎉
This kind of thing has actually happened. Look up Natalia Grace Barnett. Wild shit 😆
Natalia was a child though
There is a reason Esther goes after the dad's of the families is because her actual dad raped her when she was a child and told her that's what love is until he replaced her. I think she ended up killing him and they threw her into a mental asylum.
love these movies.
this has to be the best movie i have EVER seen if you dont like it simply ignore it
13:58 took me out🤣🤣
😭😭😭
Esther? I hardly know her
15:54 DAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN
I shamelessly want another orphan film 🤣 shamelessly.
I understand
The most unrealistic part is how the fuck anybody ever thought that was a kid.
why not recast the girl? makes no sense.
Cause then it wouldn’t make sense if Esther isn’t recognizable now would it?
the orphan is a great horror movie
yeah no esthel was an icon x
