I'm looking forward to seeing this too if I can get it.....its a spanish film (subtitled) but its getting great reviews it was shown in a load of film festivals around the world and there is even talk of Oscars

The Orphanage is a slick and quietly chilling piece of work based around (what else?) an orphanage. A woman named Laura returns to the orphanage she grew up in as a child, with the intention of opening it up again as a home for children with disabilities. Together with her husband and son Simon, Laura tries to make the huge old building ready to
receive it's first new residents, but all is not quiet in the dusty rooms and grounds, and gradually she starts to feel sinister presences from the past making themselves known.

Here's a trailer

Hmm, sounds good. Funny I watched a Spanish film at the weekend called The Devil's Backbone which was also set in an orphanage, well, maybe more of a children's home cause some of them still had parents I think, just they were off in the civil war.
A new kid there senses a strange ghostly presence and eventually comes face to face with the spectre - woooo! LOL!

This was a drama really with a supernatural twist, it was quite good, I enjoyed it. Nowhere near as much as Pan's Lab though. The ghosty in it looked suitably unpleasant I thought, along the Asian horror kind of line.

It sounds very like the film I'm on about

obviously the Spanish have a thing about kids in horror dramas

I have never seen Pan's Labyrinth....is it good Honey????

It's brilliant Luc! You should see it, really, really good. Again, set in the Spanish civil war - LOL! It's weird and freaky, and the cinematography is great. Some yucky moments in it too.
