Review of Orphan (2009) by Appendage7 — 18 Jan 2020
In earlier drafts of the script, Kate and John go to the orphanage not to see girls for the first time, but to bring presents to Yolanda, a seven-year-old Puerto Rican girl whom they plan on taking home the next day.
There, they meet Esther (this scene plays out almost exactly as it does in the finished film). Although she impresses them, especially John, she finds out that they have already planned to adopt Yolanda.
The next morning, Sister Judith finds Yolanda hanging in a closet; it is assumed that she died in a kids' game gone wrong, but implied that Esther killed her. John later suggests to Kate that they adopt Esther instead.
