If you’re tired of all the goody-goody comfort and joy this season brings, you might want to catch El Orfanato, a new horror flick produced by Mexican director Guillermo del Toro which is getting rave reviews.

The film premieres tonight in the U.S. and some say it’s got Oscar written all over it (though others are skeptical because it didn’t get a nomination for the Golden Globes). Critics are comparing it to Pan’s Labyrinth — the Del Toro film which took home numerous Oscars last year — and Spain’s hit horror film The Others.

Looking at the trailer it doesn’t look all that scary but I admit it takes a lot to creep me out. I’ll be checking it out and reviewing it for you here very soon. But in the meantime, get out and see it (and in the process, support films en español!) and let us know what you think.
