The Uninvited is not your typical horror film and that's a good thing! I didn't see the original movie (2003 South Korean horror film called "A Tale of Two Sisters") so I can't say if it's better or worse but on it's own it's a great psychological horror film! The plot is good. There's a really great character development and the build up to the end is done really well. Really keeps the viewers engaged. I especially liked the movie's atmosphere. It was scary, creepy and intense and not your typical dumb slasher. It's a mix of psychological thriller and horror in one movie. You won't find moronic characters, cheap jump scares and tons of gore and nudity in this film. Which, as far as I'm concerned, is a good thing! I really don't understand the bad reviews! It might not be an Oscar Winner but so what?! As a horror/thriller it's really good. The cast and crew did an excellent job and I also enjoyed the beautiful scenery (most of the movie was shot at one location, a beautiful waterfront property in Vancouver, British Columbia). If you never seen it, give it a chance!
