August 5, 2009"Don't go home."
Yet another US remake of an asian horror film. Haven't seen the original so it's impossible to compare the end results of the two films. But having seen a lot of horror remakes, I've never seen a US remake getting better than the original...
I'm not gonna g...( read more) -
July 20, 2009I was quite ready to give this film terrible reviews, but alas, I cannot. I say that because horrible reviews and great reviews are far more fun to write than "decent" reviews.
This is an American 'reimagining' of the amazing Korean film "A Tale Of Two Sisters."
It hits the so...( read more) -

June 15, 2009I actually liked this movie. As usual, I get myself all worked up and think that a movie is going to be way more scary than it actually is. I definitely didn't see the ending coming and was actually getting mad and thinking that it was going to be another one of those scary movie...( read more)

November 20, 2009The movie was okay and not really a horror movie at all but I guess by definition it was and i give it 3 and a half stars for the ending and suspense of the mystery and misdirection that the director did a good job in doing.

November 18, 2009This movie was SO horrible. Everything was a cliche from previous horror movies and I just felt bad for those particular movies because now I had to associate them when seeing this hunk of junk. the only thing amusing was the look of the film, which was really good. if it was sil...( read more)

November 18, 2009A true American remake: 1. Remove all traces of subtlety. 2. Ruin all of the scares with flash cuts and CG. 3. Throw in an unnecessary explosion.
Success!!! We've destroyed another story! -

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
The Uninvited is a mess of styles and stolen ideas, including a plot twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan roll his eyes and dialogue straight from a CW scene generator. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
A teenager's resistance to her father's new girlfriend provides the emotional underpinnings for The Uninvited, a spooky, if narcotic, psychological thriller adapted from a 2003 K-horror suspenser. full review

Luke Y. Thompson, E! Online
...has more genuinely earned scares than any other recent American horror movie. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
A horror-thriller that's neither horrifying nor thrilling. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though not in the top tier of psychological horror flicks, The Uninvited is well-paced and offers enough jolts and twists to keep an audience sufficiently on the edge of their seats to offset the pric... full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
The plot borrows as freely from Hitchcock and Henry James as from the Bard of Avon, and doesn't make scrupulous sense, though I'd have to see the film again, which I won't do, to make sure it doesn't ... full review

A truly frightening experience with a 100% certified shocker of an ending. full review

Peter Sobczynski, eFilmCritic.com
. . .one of those movies that opens in January, makes a few quick bucks from kids who will see virtually any PG-13 horror item that comes along and is then completely forgotten by February. full review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
There's a substantial twist in The Uninvited, a pretty fair and reasonably scary remake of South Korean director Kim Jee-Woon's thriller A Tale of Two Sisters. full review
