Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Orphan: First Kill (2022)

In this prequel to Orphan, Esther escapes from her incarceration as the "most dangerous" patient in an Estonian mental institution. By researching missing children, she finds one who's been gone long enough that her changes in appearance can be attributed to normal aging and assumes her place in the family, who seem happy to have her back.

It's pretty bananas in an extremely entertaining way. Though the practical effects (actual child in longshots) are obvious and the deception would be dead with a simple swab, no matter. It's the audacity of the storyline that makes this work at all, so just sit back and enjoy.
