This is ridiculous! How is this “offensive to adoption supporters everywhere”?? I AM adopted, and I don’t find this offensive at ALL! If there was a horror movie where the psychopath was black would that be offensive to black people?? No, of course not! Look: I’m adopted and I, personally, am telling everyone to suck it up! You are all way to sensitive about things that you don’t even relate to!

The story about Esther being a proportional dwarf is the one that is described in the movie. In real life this disease is called hypopituitarism which is basically when some hormones are turned off.
However, the extent to which they portrayed this disease is unreal. There are still deformities that happen because of this disease, and the person will not look like a perfect child.
The movie portrays a girl who travels from house to house, trying to seduce the male figure and when that doesn’t work, resorts to killing the family and then setting the house on fire. Esther’s past is only described to the extent that she was in a mental hospital and after breaking out, moved from one foster home to another.
One can assume that she was looking for a male figure to love her, judging by the sexual drawings that were portrayed on her bedroom walls.
All the “background info” which is given by Carolina was never presented in the movie and must have been drawn by Carolina’s own presumptions on the matter.

Haha, that 33 years old dwarf plot was already used in one of the recent Chinese movies called “Murderer”.

So it is not that creative anymore. LOL

I saw this movie last night and thought it wasnt to bad for a new horror film. the plot about a 33 y.o. woman pretending to be a little girl i thought was unique…

but to be completely honest i was a bit disappointed with the last few lines of the movie.. the part where the mom is climbing out of the water onto the ice and esther grabs her and says “dont let me die mommy!” to which the womans reply is “IM NOT YOUR FUCKING MOMMY!” and kicks esther into the water…

havent we seen this somewhere before…. the grudge 2 maybe…

I just watched the movie, and the ending Is that she is 33, or 36, i cant remember, and she does have a disorter, and the only reason, she pretends to be an Oprphan is so that she can slowly seduce the husband of the family

Leilaya, you obviously didn’t read what you just QUOTED Lizzy as saying – Lizzy said in her statement that ‘the people here’ (that being Americans Duh!) ‘who have gotten Swine Flu were recently in Mexico’…You stated exactly what Lizzy said, but tried to make her look foolish.

It is quite rational. While I am no doctor so I don’t know the exact details, I do know in general if you treat most illnesses, flu, or otherwise, early – they are much more easily treatable – If, and given that I have only hearsay from Lizzy however if memory serves, she’s not far from the truth, if these “AMERICANS”(putting it in the case you put it in) were in Mexico just prior and if a significant portion of Mexicans around them were ill with Swine Flu without a good healthcare system to help either themselves or the American tourists, then it stands well to reason that the Americans will also have no immediate access to local healthcare providers as well. Most people are aware that travelling while ill makes any illnesses more grave, so to travel back to the USA for healthcare – well that makes sense that it travelled so rapidly among the U.S….especially given the growing number of Americans without healthcare.

Obviously I can’t state to you to get your facts straight since you stated nothing new, but I will say read and re-read statements before responding accusing someone of being ignorant, malicious, and whatever other choice adjectives you used.

To Lizzy… but those people are mexicans whose health-care is not as advanced as Americas and the people here who have gotten Swine Flu were recently in Mexico.

Not only is your comment wrong but it is beyond irrational. Did you happen to see the news when it listed among the casualties of Swine Flu as AMERICANS? I suggest you do more research before you spread such malicious comments about so you look as if you have some intelligence and are not as ignorant as you sound.

This movie is excellent. It doesn’t make me want to adopt children any less. It’s a really comedic horror film is all. The plot is about a 33-yr old woman with a growth disorder which is the best twist ever! She kills the family because the dad doesn’t want to have sex with her. The woman is from an insane asylum. Her actions shouldn’t make sense to any normal person. It also true that it is FICTION and should only be taken as such. It is not offensive to adopted children because she is not in fact an orphan. She is a mentally insane adult.
