I was thoroughly entertained by this film. It was definitely not what I was expecting, and that is a good thing. This is a film that makes you think you have seen it done in other films so many times before,... Full review

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

It's not easy to make a horror movie these days. The critics will hate it by definition: their expectations are always high and mostly unsatisfiable. They will call them uninspirational, uninteresting, and not original enough. With time, the horror genre has... Full review
To say that this movie is nothing like newer horror flicks would be a lie, it contains a fairly big part that is same as in every newer American thriller-horror. I have already seen the same or almost the same story... Full review
Girl and her sister have to contend with a new step mom after their mother dies in a fire and their dad decides to marry their mom's nurse. Supernatural tinged tale of love, hate and repressed memories is a good but... Full review
Just saw this and been waiting to see this, it exceeded my expectations and turned out to be one of the best PG-13 thriller movies in years!! I don't see this as another PG-13 horror remake but a PG-13 supernatural thriller... 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
Well done and enjoyable to see

2009 has already seen a great supply of horror films, with The Unborn and My Bloody Valentine headlining the bunch. Enter 'The Uninvited', an original thriller with some mildly scary moments that is not a horrible way to spend 2 hours.... Full review

The Scorecard Review
while compulsively comparing it to its excellent sibling, A Tale of Two Sisters , I might've been delighted-or, at the very least, less critical.....The ghost story is my greatest love among the sundry genres, which means I'm much pickier when it comes to simply being entertained..... ...

Take for example the truly horrific " The Uninvited ," a movie notable only....Browning isn't bad....on about what "Two Sisters" does right and "The Uninvited" does wrong....Even without the superior source material, "The Uninvited" is poorly written, poorly directed, and just plain dull.....The lackluster Blu-Ray release of "The Uninvited" doesn't help..... ...

the transfer never tries to compensate for the limited color scheme of the film by boosting them up to overly pronounced levels.....The film isn't dumb....It's still one of the better Asian horror remakes, boasting solid performances and an old-school haunted house film atmosphere with a bizarre visual.... ...
