Uninvited

"Uninvited" is surprisingly disturbing for a mainstream film. This movie one of the best Filipino Rape Revenge ever! The film is about a mother who avenges her daughter from a wealthy merciless man. I don't have any complaints about this movie as this film is solid from start to finish. The cast are intense and it feels like they are racing each other when it comes to the acting department so everyone stands out. Aga Mulach is brilliant as a merciless villain. Vilma Santos is perfectly portrayed in her role as brilliant! Even Nadine Lustre, I won't spoil her character but she brilliantly justifies her role. The direction is at best. The one night moment setting works! The costumes are topnotch and elegant together with cinematography.

Overall, "Uninvited" is an instant classic Filipino movie! The name Eva Candelaria will soon become Vilma Santos' one of her iconic roles. The film is never afraid to go darker and brutally intense. This is definitely a must see Filipino movie this year!

This movie shouldn't be shown in the mainstream cinema because the quality of this film is like its intended for "low peak" time in tv where people are not watching the tv after 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

The lead villain and his minions acted poorly with disappointing dialogue.did they make the script of this movie overnight?

The avengeful mother looks so old and you can tell she cant hardly do the stunts.she should have just stayed at home sitting on a lazy boy while crying.

Script has lots of loopholes which makes this movie unrealistic and it will definitely make you raise your eyebrows while scratching your head.

It's the most satisfying entry I've seen so far. This cinematic gem, being the first in the country to use the custom-built Cooke Anamorphic Full Frame Special Flare lenses, which is commonly used by Hollywood productions.

The cast?

Vilma Santos-Recto delivers the best performance of her career and it's a travesty that she didn't even get nominated for Best Actress. Aga Muhlach is the man you will love to hate! A different Aga Muhlach! And Nadine Lustre slays despite her limited role. The whole movie is not complete without her.

'Uninvited' is a genuinely must-see, solid revenge-thriller. I'm hoping for a sequel.

Vilma Santos delivers yet another masterful performance in Uninvited, a mystery-suspense thriller that cements her legacy as one of Philippine cinema's most versatile actresses. Directed by Dan Villegas, the film weaves a gripping narrative of secrets, betrayals, and unexpected twists, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

Santos portrays a strong, enigmatic character who unravels layers of deception with her sharp instincts and emotional depth. Her performance is both restrained and powerful, seamlessly balancing vulnerability and strength. The supporting cast, including Aga Muhlach and Nadine Lustre, complements Santos's magnetic screen presence, creating a dynamic ensemble that elevates the story's intensity.

The film's cinematography is equally compelling, with Villegas capturing dark, atmospheric visuals that enhance the suspense. The score is haunting yet subtle, perfectly matching the film's tone without overpowering its emotional beats. The screenplay is taut and intelligent, with dialogues that resonate long after the credits roll.

While Uninvited may not fit the mold of traditional crowd-pleasers, it stands out as a meticulously crafted piece of cinema. Its narrative complexity and layered performances make it a strong contender for recognition in award-giving bodies. Santos proves once again that she can tackle challenging roles with ease, delivering a performance that lingers in the minds of viewers.

Uninvited is more than just a suspense film-it's a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the artistry of one of Philippine cinema's finest icons. It's a must-watch for fans of the genre and anyone who appreciates nuanced, character-driven narratives.

10/10.

The movie runs for just 1 hour and 33 minutes, so the pacing was fast. The plot is simple but intense: a mother out for justice after the brutal rape and murder of her daughter and the daughter's boyfriend.

Vilma Santos proves once again why she's the Star for All Seasons. You can really feel every bit of her emotion-grief, rage, strength. And surprise, surprise: Aga Muhlach! I grew up knowing him as the classic heartthrob, but here, he plays a messed-up family man with a selfish, pleasure-seeking lifestyle. You'll really hate his character...which means he did a great job!

The cast is solid-Mylene Dizon and Tirso Cruz are here too, though I wish Tirso had more screen time. As for Nadine Lustre, this was my first time seeing her act. Not sure if the poker face is part of the role or her signature expression?

All in all, the film is raw, bloody, and gripping. Worth the watch!
