“ Orphan First Kill ” is directed by William Brent Bell and written by David Coggeshall, with David Leslie Johnson- McGoldrick and Alex Mace penning the story. The movie is a prequel to “ Orphan ” as it starts in 2007 while the original took place in 2009. And it’s centered around the story that Kate Coleman( Vera Farmiga) compactly learned about, in which Esther/ Leena( Isabelle Fuhrman) got herself espoused into an American family and also killed all of them. The family in question were the Albrights, i.e., Tricia Albright( Julia Stiles), Allen Albright( Rossif Sutherland), and Gunnar Albright( Matthew Finland). Esther was the name of their son who went missing many times agone. Leena stole her identity and tried to pass off as that girl since her hypopituitarism didn’t allow her to look aged than 10 – 12 times.
