Screenwriter pushes into dark corners

From The Orlando Sentinel: Screenwriter Sergio G. Sanchez may have figured out the reason for the success in America of films like Pan's Labyrinth and his own, The Orphanage: "When a Spanish or European or even Mexican film dares to go into those dark corners, you get the feeling that's something people would not welcome here. Strangely enough, though, American audiences seem to love that . . . . It's daring enough to go into places that audiences are rarely pushed into by American movies."
