While I'm pretty excited for Orphan, Warner bros. new horror movie, being released this month. I cant help but be reminded of the 1993 movie The Good Son, starring Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. If you've seen it you'll know what I mean.

Since I'm talking about Orphan...
I found this particularly interesting, and quite hilarious.

On July 24, 2009, Warner Brothers Pictures and Dark Castle Entertainment plans to release the movie, “Orphan” nationwide. This horror movie is a fictional story of a couple who loses their unborn child and decides to adopt a 9-year-old girl, Esther, from a local orphanage.

The tagline for the movie is, “There is something wrong with Esther”. Another line from the movie states, “It must be hard to love an adopted child as much as your own".

The Christian adoption community adamantly opposes the themes in this movie which suggest that orphans are "problem children" who will bring nothing but destruction and violence to a family. This deception also brings unnecessary fear to families considering adoption.

This theme is extremely offensive and hurtful to the hundreds of thousands of families who have adopted. Unlike the message that this film portrays, these families can attest to the great blessings of adoption, and their unmeasurable love for their children.

... Neat little bit of information, no?

I'm sure Alex Mace intended to hurt, and offend, hundreds of thousands of families.
The only thing this movie suggests is that little girls are scary. Or, if you want to bring The Good Son into this, Children are scary. I think we can all agree. Children, especially girls, are scary.
