    The Orphanage short comments

      Scared me, why would someone say this is not a ghost movie? They lied to me to watch this movie, but it turned out to be a ghost movie, but I scare myself in many places. The old house is scary, and it is such a big old house. How come there are still so many places that haven't been sorted out, and it seems that something scary will come out just in any corner. This story is to teach us not to live in a big old house.

      After I downloaded it, I found out that it was the Chinese dubbing of the pit father. I couldn't watch it at all.
