Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve always liked this movie. I don’t find it corny..like girl running upstairs kinda scary movie. It’s a good thriller, supernatural thriller like The Others or Gothika. Two thumbs up n my opinion.

This movie will have you sitting on the edge of your seat the whole time. So many twists and turns, but I loved it. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

This is my favorite movie for Halloween. I love it.

This is the kind of movie that has to be viewed twice in order to fully understand it.

The Uninvited is a fairly scary movie and the acting was pretty good. The story follows Anna on her journey home fresh from the asylum where she takes up with her sister to rid the household of her father's girlfriend whom they fear is a murderer and has doom in store for them. So if you have watched ghost movies over the last ten or so years, you basically know this film. It hits all of the major plot points, has a couple requisite twists and throws weird scares at you (it is based on a Korean film, you know). I expected all of this. I even expected one twist that I thought was revealed very early on. Even so, the ending still surprised me and I have to say that this film was classy in telling a familiar story. The truth is, there hasn't really been a genre-changing film in the ghost story genre for awhile now. The Uninvited is no different. So, what is important is not what is being told (as there's nothing new under the sun), but how it's told. Here The Uninvited soars where a lot of recent ghost stories (Unborn, for example) have failed. The storytelling is far classier than it has any right to be, the script is well-written and convincing and the actors are terrific. Emily Browning, playing Anna, practically carries the weight of the film on her slender shoulders. With her forlorn and innocent gaze, you really start to feel for her increasingly desperate plight. Meanwhile, her sister is played perfectly by Arielle Kebbel who brings a sexy older sibling charm to the proceedings. And then there's Elizabeth Banks, playing the stepmother who might not be all she says she is. All of this is pitted against a murder mystery or two and wrapped up in a perfect bow. There's not a dull moment in the film, the scares actually startled me, even when I expected them and some of the ghostly hauntings could give the weird factor of The Grudge/Ring a run for their money. It's effective and very well done. There are a few twists and turns that keep the story engaging and some parts of it were fairly frightening. i will definitely recommend seeing this, it's one of the most refreshing movies i've seen. in a long time As for the Blu-ray release the picture quality is very sharp and looks excellent in HD and the sound is also solid as well, but the disc lacks with extras. There is an 18-min behind the scenes feature (watch it after the movie some spoilers) deleted scenes and an alternate ending. All the extras are also on the DVD, but the good thing is the features on the Blu-ray are all in HD. Sometimes the features are SD, but not here. I don't know if this movie is popular enough to warrant another edition, but you never know.

I was so relieved that this American version of The Uninvited was not patterned after the Asian film of the same name, but rather after the Asian film A Tale of Two Sisters. The Asian version of The Univited was long, not frightening, and entirely too boring. The Asian film A Tale of Two Sisters was very engrossing, only there were some variances in culture, which I am not well versed in. This version of The Uninvited begins with Anna being released from a mental institution in much better condition that the girl in the Asian film. She is trying to remember the events that took place the night of the fire in which her mother died. Her father has written a book and dedicated it to Anna and her sister Alex. He also surprises her by saying that he has taken up with her mother's former nurse Rachel and later tells her of his plans to marry her. Right from the start, Anna is suspicious of Rachel, feeling that she is somehow involved in her mother's death. If you have seen the Asian film A Tale of Two Sisters, then you will know what plot twist is to come. Alex tries talking to her father about Rachel, but he doesn't seem to hear her. They even managed to include the strange under-the-sink scene, which I consider to be THE MOST STARTLING SCENE OF ANY MOVIE I have seen up until now. I knew it was coming, but I still jumped. Little bits of information come together by the end to make for a perfect Hitchcockian ending.

This movie was terrific! Excellent plot, great intrigue, great acting, and a fantastic ending. In this day and age, it seems like good endings are hard to come by. But, this movie nailed it! This was the kind of movie, like The Others, where at the end of the movie you're saying, "Whoa! I gotta watch that again!" There's even a guy on here that wrote a review saying he would recommend it to a friend, and he doesn't even like horror movies. That means, for all those like my wife and I that love horror movies, you're really going to like it. I say buy it, it's a sure thing!

This movie felt like the classic old ghost stories Hollywood used to make. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and film style. This was a great thriller. Honestly, I was expecting it to be a horror film, but I didn't read the back either. What I got was a pleasant surprise- a psychological suspense movie with a bit of jumps here and there. The "tale of two sisters" within the film is actually quite touching. I really enjoyed the sister's chemistry - it was very authentic. What great young actresses! It made the twist ending all the more powerful! but after watching it I had a strange feeling I had seen it before. It kind of made me think of The Sixth Sense and The Others. So the twist wasn't all that unique really. What made it special was the girls interaction with each other and the moody atmosphere. That made it definitely recommendable!

This movie was cool: well-acted, well-filmed, genuinely creepy. Twist endings are overused these days, especially when the films that precede them are boring. But this film and its ending totally worked for me. The Univited is more entertaining than a lot of the mainstream horror films which have come out recently.

This movie was actually pretty good. And considering most movies these days are completely predictable, it was refreshing to watch a movie that actually surprised me with the ending.Almost more of a thriller than horror, Two thumbs up!

You have to pay attention while watching this movie. There are parts were you will be jumping of your seat and parts were you don't know whats going on. Thats what makes this movie so great, at the end you will never guess the ending.

this film was entertaining enough to sit through once, the ending is actually pretty good, i doubt anyone would be able to predict it, the thing about this movie is there is really just not much to it...overall i would have to at least recommend it if you like supernatural thrillers

This is a great thiller. If you get the chance watch it, it's worth it. Very good movie, liked it alot!!

I have mentioned before that I am not a fan of horror flicks but this one was decent. The main plot of the movie is that two girls don't like their father's girlfriend and decide to investigate what she's all about. They find out some things about her and then decide to act upon it. Then at the end of the movie you get hit with a massive twist one of the most suprising I've ever seen. The problem with the twist is that it makes some of the events earlier in the movie not make any sense and you'll be left scratching your head. This still was a decent movie and it was better than I though it would be.

It is a great, full of twist horror movie that is suitable for families. Would highly recommend!
