The china-doll features of Emily Browning (A Series of Unfortunate Events) are the eerie center of The Uninvited, an American remake of the wildly popular Korean horror film A Tale of Two Sisters. Browning stars as Anna, a young girl being released from a mental hospital following the harrowing death of her mother. But when she returns home, she discovers her father (David Strathairn) has fallen under the sexual spell of her mother's former nurse, Rachael (Elizabeth Banks, Zack and Miri Make a Porno), despite the open hostility of Anna's sister Alex (Arielle Kebbel, John Tucker Must Die). When Anna sees the ghost of her mother point at Rachael and scream "Murder!", Anna and Alex begin to investigate Rachael's past and make some unsettling discoveries. The Uninvited combines two horror trends: Twist endings (in this case, more than one) and recycling Asian horror images (particularly wet, crawling corpses). There's nothing particularly outstanding about The Uninvited, but it's superior to more lackluster Asian horror remakes like One Missed Call. The three lead actresses all have strangely glossy faces that look molded out of plastic, which adds a perhaps unintentional layer of creepiness. --Bret Fetzer

 Perfect horror movie February 7, 2010
Frodo Bagginssss (Lothlorien, USA)
This movie has everything a horror fan could want: setting, mystery, great casting, and the conclusion fills you with a sense of wonder and gives you a lot to think about.
 Not a very good remake. January 25, 2010

I just love a good ghost story.
Sadly, this wasn't one of them.
I'll make this short.
What did I like?
The acting and directing were both passable but nothing spectacular.
The story was a remake of "A Tale Of Two Sisters".
The original was a million times better and I watched it after I watched the remake.
What didn't I like?
Pretty much everything else.
Everything the original did right, the remake did wrong.
The story was WAY too obvious right from the start.
The original had a lot of little twists and turns that this version didn't have.
Most movies have little, small touches that the director add.
The remake had none of the subtle touches that were in the original.
Different directors, different versions obviously.
All in all, I didn't like it.
It wasn't scary.
It was forgotten within a few days by me anyway.
I give "A Tale of Two Sisters" my highest recommendations.
"The Uninvited"???
Bleh, go rent the original you'll thank me later.
 The Uninvited January 11, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Anna returns home after spending time in the hospital following the tragic death of her mother. Her recovery suffers a setback when she discovers her father has become engaged to her mother's former nurse. That night, Anna is visited by her mother's ghost, who warns her of Rachel's intentions. Together, Anna and her sister try to convince their father that his current fiancee is not who she pretends to be, and what should have been a happy family reunion becomes a lethal battle of wills between stepdaughters and stepmother. This is a good movie, the twists and turns in this movie came to a unpredictable ending which is really good.
One of the best movies I seen in '09 January 10, 2010
Bliss Thibeaux (south Louisiana)
OK so I finally decided to watch the movie after reading some of the comments on the message board and because I am a fan of Elizabeth Banks. I normally don't watch movies like this because movies these days are lacking. But this just blew me away. It's about a girl name Anna who comes back home from the crazy ward. Her mom is dead and her father is shacking up with another woman and her sister is also there that is, there for Anna. I don't want to go too much into detail because I don't want to spoil anything for people who have not seen it but It is a MUST for people who love a good suspense thriller with some horror. I gotta say the performance of the whole cast esp Emily Browning and Arielle Kebbel was better than great! I applaud Arielle for her performance. I know I couldn't have pulled off her role like she did. But I recommend this to everyone!
The next generation of ghost movie - 4 stars! January 3, 2010
Pete (Seattle, WA)
I've never thought that the ending would end up that way. I was in fact a little confused after watching the movie. Is she dead or alive? What's going on here? Is she a ghost or what? So I watched the second time. Then I realized one thing about this new style of ghost movie: the ghost is not a ghost anymore, the ghost is a "human", just like anybody else in the movie. It's intriguing, mysterious, and makes you say out loud: "WTF, she is already dead!" This new trend in ghost movie has becoming more & more common. Another similar style to this one is "Passagers" (starring Anne Hathaway). In the end of the movie, your immediate expression (in a good way): "What?", "WTF!", "Oh..", "Wow..". All in all, I like it - 4 stars.
