Horror Movies With All of the Scares and None of the Gore

The Orphanage

Laura, Carlos, and their seven-year-old adopted son Simón return to Laura's childhood home—an orphanage that she wishes to turn into a facility for disabled children. During an argument, Simón goes missing, and ghosts of the past begin to resurface. Equal parts heartbreaking and terrifying, The Orphanage will sit with you long after the credits roll.
