*1/2 StarsThe Orphan is a by-the-numbers horror flick with one or two scenes of potential. The rest? Dead upon arrival. Starring Vera Farminga and Peter Sarsgaard, this ripoff of The Omen features the two leads playing parents who adopt a child because the plot needs them to. Her name is Ester. And of course she is evil, even deadly, and willing to kill for the sake of killing. Now, if it didn't feature one of the stupidest twists I have ever seen in a movie, I would give this a mild recommendation to those who enjoy the genre. But it does, so I won't. Yes, there is something wrong with Ester. It's the film itself.
