Orphan: First Kill Official Trailer

Orphan: First Kill is the prequel to the 2009 Orphan horror movie that grossed $78 million worldwide with a budget of $20 million, garnering a strong cult following. Many critics praised Fuhrman for her performance as Esther, which she is set to reprise.

“What’s remarkable is that Isabelle Fuhrman, who played the little girl in the original Orphan, now reprises her role as the same girl, same age, even though Isabelle’s older now… But I just went and did ADR… and I was floored because they didn’t use CGI. The tricks that they did with the camera and different perspective tricks that they had, plus her costume and prosthetics and all that, she looks like a child, and her performance is stunning,” said Stiles in an interview with Collider.
