Favourite Horror Movie

My favourite horror movie, is more considered to be a pyschological horror, but does have a lot of horror conventions such as you can see on the poster that ghosts are present.

What is it called
The Orphanage

Who directed it?
Juan Antonio Bayona, produced by Guillermo del Toro

Have they directed any other horror films?
No, he's a new director, mainly has directed Shorts and videos.

When was it released
2007

Does it have any well known stars in it? If so, Who?
Not really, as it is a spanish film, mainly spanish actors which only act within spanish films, however Geraldine Chaplin (Charlie Chaplin's daughter) does feature in it.

List the horror conventions of this film:
Young Children, Creepy old house, Ghosts, Not much talking, heavily influenced by music
Masks (Pretty freaky actually!!) ---->

What elements created fear and suspense in the film?
The fact that throughout, there was not too much speaking and was heavily influenced by music, but ghosts and masked children are a key point and sure make it a whole lot scarier for the audience!!

What elements failed to create fear and suspense in the film?
I could not find any, I found the film throughout good and did not fail to create suspense since throughout most of the film I was on the edge of my chair!
