Saturday, June 3 will be the last day to watch a movie on Netflix that has been able to trample its year. It won 7 Goya awards, was a box office success and the passage of time favored it to such an extent that it can now be said to be a classic of 21st century horror cinema.
The film, which is backed by very important names such as Guillermo del Toro and Juan Antonio Baionawill be a “victim” of the constant turnover that exists in the ranks of the red “N”.
The former, who was its producer, won the Oscar for The Shape of Water and has to his credit several titles recognized by all viewers: The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth, Cronos.
The second, its director, achieved worldwide fame with the great The Impossible and later with A Monster Comes to See Me, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
But let’s go back to the movie that calls us.
Del Toro, Bayona, Spanish Terror, Belén Rueda, 2007… Ring a bell? The film that next Sunday Netflix will remove from its catalog is The orphanage.
The orphanage tells the story of Laura (Belén Rueda), the director of a dismal home for disabled children, and her little son, whose strange actions make her suspect that the house where she works holds a secret.
The repercussion of El orfanato in festivals was very relevant in 2007 – its debut year – and in early 2008. It won 7 Goya Awards, was selected at the Sitges Film Festival and was nominated for the Critic’s Choice Awards, among other accolades.
Bayona, who had a long career as a music video director at the time of The Orphanage’s release, based it on a short film by his compatriot Sergio G. Sanchez of the year 2000 titled 7337.
On Filmaffinity, a Spanish site that would be something like “the IMDb of Spanish speakers”, it ranks 120th in a list that thousands of voters (any user) have made of the “best horror films in history”.
