Tengo la Camisa Negra

Well, this title hardly has anything to do with the movie I saw last night, but these are the only words I can say in Spanish, with "me llamo Clarita" and I'm pretty sure there must be some kind of grammar mistake in there somewhere. (Beside the fact that it's not my name, of course, but Clarita sounds much better, in Spanish, don't you think?)

As I said, I went to the cinema yesterday, and saw a spanish movie (in French, because in my town's cinema, they don't do dubbing) called "El Orfanato" (oh, mad! Another two words in Spanish!!). It was a horror movie, and as usual when I go see horror movies, I spent quite a lot of time wondering what the hell was making me go see these kind of films. Indeed, Reader, once it starts being real freaky (what usually is because of the music more than because of the images), I keep thinking that I'd rather be home, and yet I always go see more... Beats me...

I like horror movies though, mainly because the stories (when there is one, which is not always the case) is often really sad, or good, or poetic, in El Orfanato's case, it was all three. Besides, it did not fall into the terrible trap of showing you a monster or gross things all along, because when people (directors mostly) do that to me, I quickly get used to it and lose interest in the whole movie. This time, there was only one really gross scene with an old lady getting hit by an ambulance (gross) but apart from that, it was mostly just terrifying. Especially one part where the nice lady gets attacked by a creature with a bag upon its head, which makes strange breathing noises, and which you can see coming from the other end of the corridor. Terrifying.

But as I said, it was a very good terrifying movie, and if you have a chance of seing it, don't hesitate. Only beware. It doesn't make you sick, unlike Cloverfield, but it's pretty creepy, and if you're prone to nightmares, you'd better have a Disney DVD waiting at home!! I'd say Peter Pan would be suitable!

Have a nice evening, reader, I hope I'll write again soon! (Yeah, I haven't been very productive lately...)
