The narrative is quite a drag, there’s no suspense here but the cold backdrop of snow and inhospitable weather conditions does lend some evocativeness to the intended chilling interplay here

Orphan: First Kill
‘Orphan: First Kill’ heralds the return of Isabelle Fuhrman as Esther, the pretend child, in a prequel that’s so absurd that it’s laughable. After escaping from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Leena Klammer impersonates Esther, the missing daughter of a wealthy American family. The character of Tricia ( Julia Stiles), the grieving mother, is not just a parent under attack. The set-up is altogether unbelievable and contrived with Gunnar (Matthew Finlan), the Albrights’ teenage son, abetting the twist with tacky entitlement and the Father/ husband (Rossif Sutherland) remaining clueless all throughout.
