I think you can just take the printed page. I pressed the 'retrieve' button and they sent me the confirmation email which just said to bring that page to the cinema.

Guys, even if you don't like horrors see The Orphanage!
9 out of 10 from me, because it focuses on a really powerful, emotional story about the relationship between mother and son - think of it as the Sixth Sense (it's even better than that!) all from the mother's perspective
and that's what makes the scares extra effective
This film is one of the most affecting of the year, I'm sure - it keeps you in the back of your seat, anticipating what might happen
I'm still trying to fit the jigsaw plot together in my head, but regardless you know its a remarkable film
And if the end doesn't move you, I don't know what will!

:A I am so grateful I saw it during the day, now I'm going to desensitize myself with a few romcom that a friend lent me for this Sunday. Fear gets not by the gore, perhaps one or two scenes, but by the rythm, the camera work and the music. Very well acted, which is a lot to say as I am hispanic and get annoyed about the overly dramatic "hamness"of spanish actors, so this film is plus ultra in that sense. Geraldine Chaplin (how can she have missed this one!) playing a channel for the dead.
I agree with Wolverine, all seen from the maternal point of view and disagree with viva Espania macho viewing that a father cannot see beyond, it really disturbs me. I found this very obvious and facile, BUT nevertheless an excellent film:A
PS:
I don't like horror either.

Wolverine

hurm well i don't see the father not seeing the supernatural side as a gender-based decision on the part of the filmmakers - since the film works on two levels (rational and supernatural) it was the right move to make one of them see it one way, one the other
And anyway the end indicates a change in the father's mind doesn't it?

Now it says Thank you for booking your tickets. Please check the details then enter the BOOKING NUMBER below on the relevant page in the newspaper and take it with you to the cinema you have booked in good time for the screening. I didn't know I had to buy a Times for this!?

If you look at the times on line you can just print the page. :beer:

The Orphanage, Oh my God. Do NOT see this if you suffer from a nervous disposition! At one point I grabbed my OH's arm so hard that he winced! And you can't even close your eyes because they are speaking Spanish so you have to read the subtitles! Talk about creepy and scary and .....I felt like a lie-down and a stiff drink afterwards but had to travel all across town to the Empire Leicester Square! I am so glad I saw 10,000 BC afterwards though or I would still be jelly-legged. I really do not know how to rate this. I don't like horror movies and I don't like to be scared so I did not really enjoy the film, but at the same time I could see that it was well done, and it was powerful and haunting. Talk about suspense by means of music!

10,000 BC was a great fantasy adventure film, of course totally unbelievable, and with a strange mixture of dinosaurs, sabretooth tigers, mammoths, snow-capped mountains and sort of Egyptian pyramids, but it was entertaining, although I could have told you the ending long before. 7/10. The screen at the Empire Leicester Square is enormous and we had the best seats far far up in the last row, with a complimentary bottle of water on every seat. Great screen.
