Last night I watched the movie
The Orphanage (El Orfanato), a Spanish movie directed by Juan Antonio Bayona and produced by Guillermo del Toro (who directed the masterpiece Pan's Labyrinth), and I must say that I hadn't seen a horror movie this good in a long, long time.
It has almost no special effects whatsoever, but it manages to convey suspense and fear in a way that would make the Dark Powers give a standing ovation.
I strongly recommend everyone around here to watch this movie for excellent suggestions on how to run ghost-like scenarios, or just for the pure joy of being spooked. But watch it at night and, if possible, alone.
