A full 13 years after the debut “Orphan – The Orphan” starts with “Orphan 2: First Kill” on September 8, 2022, a prequel to the horror shocker in the cinemas. So even though First Kill isn’t a direct sequel but a prequel, it definitely doesn’t hurt to be familiar with the murderous Esther’s (Isabelle Fuhrman) first appearance on screen, especially since her screen comeback also has the mega -Twist of the original spoiled.

The adoption of another child should bring the hoped-for new beginning and with the bright Esther the Colemans seem to have found the perfect addition to their family. But soon the mysterious incidents in Esther’s environment accumulate, with which something obviously doesn’t seem right…
In “Orphan: First Kill” we now see how little Esther (also after 13 years played again by the now 25-year-old Isabelle Fuhrman!) Before her time with the Colemans, she was already with another unsuspecting family (including Julia Stiles) sneaks in by posing as their daughter, who disappeared years ago. Here, too, horrible occurrences follow…
