If Orphan hit the spot, these will too

Jaume Collet-Serra working the same nerve twice
The difference: Sits closer to drama than Orphan does

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Reviewed even better

Dread-soaked thriller, and it commits to that

Horror with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Both lean on tension more than on thriller

The same hand behind both of them: Jaume Collet-Serra
The difference: Leans harder into mystery than Orphan does


Both lean on unease more than on thriller

Both keep coming back to the same thing: evil child

Both sit in the same tense register

Horror approached the same way
