I literally cannot believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet.. The Orphanage (Spanish: El Orfanato) is a 2007 Spanish-Mexican horror film and the debut feature of Spanish filmmaker J.A. Bayona. The film stars Belén Rueda as Laura, Fernando Cayo as her husband, Carlos, and Roger Príncep as their adopted son Simón. The plot centers on Laura, who returns to her childhood home, an orphanage. Laura plans to turn the house into a home for disabled children, but a problem arises when she and Carlos realize that Simón believes he has a masked friend with whom he will run away. After an argument with Laura, Simón is found to be missing... If you need to know more, it got ***1/2 from Ebert and is at 7.6 on IMDB, 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, 7.4 on Metacritic. That's all you need. Don't read any reviews, don't watch any trailers, don't spoil anything - just rent and watch it. It's the best psychological horror movie I've seen in years. The main actress is fantastic.
