El Orfanato
Mom and I just watched El Orfanato (The Orphanage). It was excellent. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
In the last few years, I've become a fan of Guillermo del Toro's work and while this isn't one of his movies (though he is a producer), it has a lot of similar qualities: the key role of children in the story, the pacing, the color palate and camera work. It's a very nicely constructed film. I kind of want to watch it again and pick it apart.
( Now, for spoiler-filled talk. )
