The Orphan Killer is a 2011 independent horror film written and directed by Matt Farnsworth.

[2] The film follows the life of two children who become wards of the state in New Jersey after a home invasion results in the murder of their parents.

[11] Dread Central also reviewed the film, stating "It is a low-budget offering and often looks like it" but that "You're getting a new slasher, one with a lot of similarities to some of our favorite characters of the past, but with its own unique spin".

[12] Fangoria panned the film, writing that "these filmmakers had everything they needed to create something special, and simply chose to go the least interesting route".

Farnsworth announced plans for a sequel to The Orphan Killer shortly after the film's premiere in 2011.
