Watch: The Orphan



I’ve read that this movie has worried a lot of adoption groups in the US due to the film's portrayal of adopting a child as a potentially life-threatening move.

The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute have even gone so far as to send a formal letter of complaint to Warner Bros and its producers (which includes Leonardo Di Caprio), expressing their concern, stating that "this film will have the unintended effect of skewing public opinion against children awaiting families both in the United States and abroad [...] by feeding into the unconscious fears of potential foster and adoptive families that orphaned children are psychotic and unable to heal from the wounds of abuse, neglect, and abandonment."
 
Why not?  This movie is creepy with a capital C.
