"The orphan" was a fantastic genre movie that really surprised many in a positive way.
The prequel "The first kill" however, is showing endless logic gaps, lacks coherence and tries to copy many good elements from the first one while awfully failing.
The main actress does no longer represent a nine year old girl and what worked in part 1 appears like a desperate hope to catch viewers with the same idea twice. If the story was only a bit more realistic and some new features included. Unfortunately that's not the case.
What a big pity to wait more than 10 years, only to sit there shaking your head basically throughout the whole film...
