Well I thought it was a poor remake of A Tale and Two Sisters, which I thought was mind blowing good. What saddens me the most about this fact is that the director seems to have failed to realize that in... Full review

"The Uninvited" qualifies as creepy, spooky stuff that never gets hardcore, but boasts good performances and a fourth quarter rug pull of a twist straight out of "Fight Club." Elizabeth Banks of "W" is gorgeous as Rachel,the younger woman/stepmother, who moves... Full review
