The Uninvited

well i saw this movie on television when i was bored and it was quite late in my room alone then this movie started i first mixed it with the other famous uninvited (2009), as i started watchin' it thinking' that i'm watchin' that famous one i really began to like it after a while i knew it was some other movie but it still had my interest, and the style they started this movie was also very interestin' tellin' some woman's past how she got some phobia n now she can't see in open space n stuff, well i hav to say it did'nt disappoint me that much as i was really scared at some moments, really got my interest thou there were some defects in the script could have been much better if they had taken the suspense and intensity till the end but it was'nt really there till the end. still i would say it is a pretty interestin', scary and enjoyable movie and i i'll suggest u guys to watch this movie with an open mind don't expect anythin' or make your predictions about the story.

Like most of the reviews I too watched this based on the wrong movie information from satellite or the movie channel. I however did enjoy the movie. It was a scary psychological thriller movie. From the beginning they had you bond with the character by starting as a documentary about the main character's phobia. I watched it alone in the dark and it had me on edge of my seat through much of it. With close up shots, the dark lighting and scary music I thought it was much scarier than slasher flicks or very far fetched stories. The main character had a tough time with reality which made it scarier. It's plot was all over the place and confusing at times. I think much more could have been done with the plot but it was still entertaining to me.

THE UNINVITED is a movie with an intriguing premise that is handled in such an amateurish and unsatisfying way that by the time the end credits roll, one is left with confusion and displeasure. I originally gave this a score of 3, but then I noticed that there are a bunch of fishy things going on with it:

1. It appears the IMDB score is being gamed: there are, as of this writing, 385 perfect scores of 10/10 out of about 1.1k scores, making it by far the most frequent score. There is no way anybody but unethical filmmakers or paid shills would give this stinker a perfect score.

2. the Wikipedia page of this movie gives only comments from a single critic whose review, though containing criticism, is overall quite positive. What seems strange to me is that the critic praises the movie exactly for the aspects at which the movie particularly sucks. Also, the wiki seems as though written by a person who is biased in favor of the movie.

3. The title is identical to several other movies, including one much better known which was released in January 2009. IMDb gives the release date of this movie as 2008 (no exact date), but Amazon and Google play give it as 2010.

As I was watching the opening, I was taken aback by how amateurish this film seemed, but because I confused this with the 2009 movie, I decided to hang in there.

Though admittedly the premise of a woman suffering a strange phobia being terrorized by some kind of supernatural entity or Satanic cult is good, the movie manages to completely botch the execution. Apart from the amateurish direction, the movie is simply incoherent. I have watched thousands of movies, and I rarely feel like I wasted my time watching one, but on this I did.

I will make sure to strictly avoid any further movies from this director.

I watched this movie on one of those days when you're ready to just sit back, relax and hopefully get treated to something really great that you just can't wait to tell somebody about. Well...it sucked, and now I feel obligated to sit in the reviewers corner with the other disenchanted viewers who kept waiting for something, anything, to happen in this film.

We generally give every film a fighting chance at least for the first 20 minutes right? Even if it's creeping along as the characters are developed and the plot is revealed,I can usually be fairly patient, but instead I found myself clock watching till it was almost over.

One of my biggest pet peeve's is the overuse of extreme darkness in a film, it's impossible to watch especially if you're watching a movie during the day, and there's ambient daylight falling on your TV. The only revealing thing about this situation is it shows you how many fingerprints are on your TV screen. With a four year old in the house, that means many.

As far as the characters I'm a little biased since I'm a huge Colin Hay fan, I wanted him to be good in this, but the script didn't allow it. Mr. Hay in my opinion is by far one of the most talented musicians out there however this script bound him to a mediocre at best character.

I thought the main character Lee was believable and as neutral in personality as Nick's, but perhaps it was the two like personalities,the overuse of darkness, and the "baby thing" thrown in at the last minute that left me with a feeling akin to buying that gotta have it gizmo thing from a late night info-mercial only to be sadly disappointed when you finally open the box.

All in all I think some good talent got sent straight to video on a slow train to nowhere.

Don't loose your time this movie is not watchable i have nothing more to say its not even worth the 3 i gave it 2/10 the plot sucks the actors suck the lighting is horrible you ll get your eyes damage so try to avoid this crap or at least play it to fast forward not to loose valuable time from your life the ghost story started to be annoying after the paranormal bullshit I just wondering there so many haunted houses in USA with ghosts and staff that researchers watching out night and day why people don't give us movies with real stories from people got murdered and stuff would be more interesting stuff to watch than this one -the ghost stories to be watchable must been based on real info's surrounded by mystery and not crap like this who will gonna be scared from this one? no one! If you have a fireplace and you got this on DVD burn it and watch it burning out it will be more fun!!
