10 Horror Movies To Scare The Crap Out Of New Parents
9. Orphan
Even before having my own child, I don’t think I’ve looked at children the same since Orphan was released back in 2009.
The psychological horror, directed by House Of Wax’s Jaume Collet-Serra, begins with an unfathomable trauma - the death of a child. As they recover from the devastating loss, Kate and John Coleman decide to adopt a nine-year-old girl from Russia - but the innocent-faced youngster in pigtails and a pastel blue dress is not nearly as sweet as she appears.
Whatever you may think the twists and turns could be in this film, they’re nowhere near as mind-boggling as what your wildest imagination conjures.
And what could possible make this terrifying film more eye-wateringly frightening? Ah, yes, the fact that it is based on a real life crime.
