Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
The Uninvited had some problems with pacing, and the plot was a bit contrived and predictable, but it had some genuinely creepy moments and an interesting cast. I enjoyed watching it and I would probably watch it again.
The ending made up for the terrible acting and atmosphere at the beginning. Throughout the movie the main character did nothing rationally and could've solved her problems swiftly.The mystery that surrounds the death of the mother was intriguing and the father's new girlfriend was mysterious as well. Overall the buildup could've been better and the suspense was stifled by the acting and dialogue.
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.
Okay, finally a movie that made me scare :D The scenes are perfectly directed, the lights, the camera views, the effects, the acting, the storyline. These all are made this movie a really great piece! I was happy to see it, and it kinda made my scare away, couse i was more glad to have a good horror than actually being scared XD I loved the scenes where i felt like it is my room, and it can happen to me as well. It made me feel better the fact that she is not a dumb, and the whole movie is not based on a stupid love story. I appreciated that the movie is not on anyone's side, it lets the viewer to decide who to believe. The events are reasonable, not just a bunch of events cut together in a chaotic line. No useless scenes, i never wanted to go out to the bathroom just to make something happen XD
