Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

ninadelph The film is a well shot horror tragedy that gives the audience questions of what is going on next. I thought the main actress was good and the father was also a good character for this type of film who brings stability along with a good performance from the actor. The stepmom twist was good and not expected but i wont ruin it as horror fans should check this out for sure.

GL84 Returning home from a time in an insane asylum, a young woman and her sister's ghostly experiences convince them something isn't right with their father's new girlfriend, and take it upon themselves to figure out the truth behind the situation.Overall this here was quite the impressive and overly enjoyable remake. Among the better qualities here is the fantastic atmosphere present, which makes this one far more chilling and suspense than expected not only in the film itself but inside a film of this rating. The opening revelation back-story of the journey through the woods, coming across the corpse in the trash-bag and being up in the house before the explosion makes for make for a solid opening along with the fine questioning afterward where it fills in on why its important, while what happens at the house is where this really gets going. Following up the hallucination in the outhouse is the stellar sequence in the living room seeing the ghost materialize from the floor in the middle of the absolutely dark, creepy room and then crawling over to her horrified in the corner while the dream she has about her boyfriend as her flashback to the diner scene with the creepy children before seeing him crawl through and change into the deformed being that mirrors his real- life condition. These fun scenes give this one a wholly fun and enjoyable build here to the engrossing mystery at the heart of the film, from their search into her name and the connection with her previous job using the online pictures and reports combined with the ghostly prompting from her visions at the funeral create a really strong sense here that goes hand-in-hand with the stellar twist at the end here for a really great story. Though the twist itself seems so obvious when looking back on the scenes after the fact but comes off incredibly well and shocking here with the really startling manner it flashes back at the end with the encounter in the house being shown what really happened and how the girl got everything done in real life which gives this some nice bits of action as well as clearing up a lot of the other lame story lines. These here all make this one quite fun and enjoyable enough to help hold this up over the few minor flaws here. The biggest issue here is the film's rather decided lack of ghost action throughout the course here, as there's so few scenes here that it really tends to get overlooked here in this kind of story to the point of even wondering whey it was included. There's no importance placed on their appearance, there's no information gleamed from them and it doesn't really put them in a position to really put it's twist into motion by really offering all that much to suspect that. As well, the film's continual insistence on threatening her with the return to the asylum over whether she's insane or not is rather tiresome and repetitive and there's little about it that's appealing. Otherwise there's a lot to like here.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language and a brief, mild sex scene.

SnoopyStyle Anna (Emily Browning) returns home from a psychiatric institution after her suicide attempt. She's been struggling after her mother's death in a fire. Her mother was ill and the caretaker Rachel Summers (Elizabeth Banks) is now her father Steven (David Strathairn)'s girlfriend. Her sister Alex (Arielle Kebbel) is convinced that Rachel killed their mother. She keeps having visions of 3 little kids. Her boyfriend Matt is killed presumably in an accident after she sees him in a vision. Her father is getting remarried to Rachel. The girls discover that Rachel is using a false identity. Anna suspects her to be Mildred Kemp who killed the 3 kids in her vision and disappeared.Emily Browning is great as a distressed teen and I like everybody in this. There is a moody ghostly sense through out the movie. This boils down to the ending. I completely understand if some people throw up their hands at the final twists. I personally scratched my head at first. In the end, I accepted it and like the movie. I could have easily gone the other way.

andrewshieh0712 I found The Uninvited on IMDb and saw it got an okay rating (6.4) as a horror/suspense film.(Usually I think that horror movie above 6 could give it a try) So I watched it and thought... meh.First of all, I can probably get what the director is trying to leave the audience to. I was expecting a better and more surprising plot twists than the ending gave me. It was implausible and unconvincing and made me feel that the first 90% of the movie suddenly became trash. I was confused with I finished it, then thought for a while while it gradually makes sense but still filled with tons of flaws. I really expected the director to clarify more on the ending.Secondly, I felt that the movie wasn't scary. There are some jump scares but it's just not scary. It's more suspense than it is scary. There are many scenes that could make it even scarier, but it didn't. However, I do like the cinematography, you can actually tell the difference comparing to other remakes, and The Uninvited stands out from the others.The acting was above-average. We got Emily Browning as the teenage girl who just got out from the mental hospital, Elizabeth Banks as the evil stepmother, Arielle Kebbel as the sister, and David Strathairn as the father. I especially like, Emily Browning who absolute suits the daughter and Elizabeth Banks. I really like how the two actresses interact with each other.The Uninvited is like those movies which stuck between the kick-ass movies and the suck-ass movies. It is definitely not as good as Insidious or Sinister, but is way better than the Grudge and One Missed Call. Since this is a remake, the Uninvited has lots of potential, but failed which turns it into a confusing movie. I am not saying that it is bad, I still find it quite enjoyable, but reviewing from the whole, the ending could have been way better.
