The Uninvited

Ridiculous thing is, these two movies are within two years apart. Never seen that before! So here's the painful part! I saw the other version when it first came out. I remember it being an at least decent movie. So then I come across this on TV thinking it's the same one. Completely confused I sat watching this painful mess of a movie trying to figure out how I couldn't possibly have remembered " the uninvited" as being such a horrible movie. I mean in the making of this movie, the apparently did not get one little tiny bit of a care as to how horribly bad acting was being played out. Yes the movie storyline itself is horrible, but the acting is downright the worst I have ever seen! Watching this movie just made me angry! Apparently they knew that once the word got out that no one would waste their time with this movie. So the only way to get an audience was to steal the name of another movie that had came out at about the exact same time. Horrible movie! As bad as it gets!

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.

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.

Incoherent and aimless. If you told me that someone made ~30 minutes of a movie and got run over by a bus, then the producers brought in a team of monkeys to randomly cut the remaining footage together so they'd have something to release then you'd have told a better story than whatever this was. Hardest of passes

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.
