That’s because this follow-up is also a prequel. Isabelle Fuhrman was 12 when she starred in 2009’s Orphan, an entertaining horror built upon a wonderfully silly twist.
The parentless, adopted child of the title was actually a 32-year-old Estonian psychopath whose growth had been stunted by a hormonal condition.
The misdirection worked because Fuhrman then looked like an eerily mature nine-year-old. When they shot this film, set a year before the events of the first one, Fuhrman was in her mid-twenties.
Director William Brent Bell (The Boy) makes extensive use of body doubles and trick shots but Furhman remains as convincing a schoolkid as Janette Krankie.
Still, if your disbelief is easily suspended, you may find yourself enjoying this appropriately camp follow-up.
The film begins with Esther escaping a psychiatric facility in Estonia and heading to Russia to pose as the missing eight-year-old daughter of a wealthy American couple played by Julia Stiles and Rossif Sutherland.
After dressing her up in spooky Victorian clothes (but not bothering with a DNA test), the couple take her back to their mansion in Connecticut.
