So I was sitting alone in my flat and thought what the heck I'll go rent a horror movie. The uninvited, from the producers of the ring, had an interesting cover and proclaimed to have a nerve tickling story with a shocking ending. An impossible story with an ending that more or less tweaked my nose for watching the movie, would have been a more accurate description.
What we get is a story where a girl (Anna) is released from some kind of asylum after having to deal with her mothers tragic death. She comes home to find that her dad's new girlfriend is her late mothers nurse (Rachael). In some kind of dreamlike state, Anna is confronted by her dead mother, who tells her that Rachael killed her, as if that would surprise anyone. Most of the rest of the movie then consists of Anna, with the help of her sister (who we later find out only exists in her head, although interacting perfectly with the rest of the family), trying to prove Rachaels guilt. It's nothing but a blurry string of scenes where it's hard to know whether Anna is hallucinating (which she does frequently) or if things are actually happening. "Zapping" sound effects are used, for instance when lights are turned on, to make the viewer jump in their seat, in a manor that sometimes makes them laughable. So this is actually not a creepy movie, it's more of a jumper. I jumped a few times, but not nearly as many as I imagine the creators wanted, and mostly because I was sitting in a dark room with the volume turned up.
Even though this was one of the most predictable movies I've seen in a long time, I really wondered how they would tie this mess up in the end. Sadly enough, they didn't. The whole movie turns at the end in a way that might shock a 14year old schoolgirl getting straight F's hanging out with her friends too much. My personal reaction was more or less "aw FFS".
So would I recommend this piece of youknowwhat? Maybe to viewers who fit the earlier given description, but that's about it. There is no way that anyone who watches a movie with a little sense of criticism, could get any amusement, except for the occasional sarcastic comment, from watching this. I can honestly say the only thing that caught my eye was the cute actress who played Anna, because I recognized her from some other movie but I couldn't remember which. Of course it was the little girl from Ghost Ship (thanks IMDb), which isn't a masterpiece either, but at least that story, in comparison to this mess, could be considered watertight...
