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.

Lily (played by Gabby Padilla) ruined the movie. Her appearance doesn't suit the role of a college girl-she looks too old for it

Gabby Padilla's portrayal of Lily in the film significantly detracted from the overall experience due to a noticeable mismatch between her physical appearance and the character she was meant to portray. As a college student, Lily was expected to embody a youthful, energetic presence, but Padilla's mature look made the role feel unrealistic and distracting. Her appearance did not convincingly align with the typical image of a college girl, which disrupted the immersion and made it difficult to fully engage with the story. This casting choice ultimately undermined the film's credibility and left a lasting negative impression.

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.

It doesn't hold back on trying to be suitable for mass consumption or appealing to the general audience.

It has its flaws, such as some situations being unrealistic (I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers) and some scenes in the ending feeling a bit anti-climactic, but the build-up was really good.

The casting (the assigning of actors to the characters) was great and very "surprising," to say the least, with an interesting combination of actors: Aga Muhlach, Vilma Santos, Nadine Lustre, Tirso Cruz III, Mylene Dizon, RK Bagatsing, and Elijah Canlas. This one didn't feel like they picked characters at random-the chemistry was really there, and I would've loved to see more of it in a TV series.

Notable mentions for acting go to Aga Muhlach, whose hysterical behavior and performance were so good that he was genuinely intimidating and maddening. Definitely a strong contender for the Best Actor award.

I loved the set, cinematography, and overall atmosphere of the film - it was modern yet vintage. It's one of a kind and the production team really nailed it with the high-society crime vibes. I think Filipinos have truly nailed making movies cinematic, and this one is solid proof.

Another notable mention is the accompaniment of cinematography and VFX to create industry-leading violence and gore. It didn't look "unprofessional"; in fact, it's quite a step forward in terms of execution.

In terms of plot, it's not the most unique (see synopsis), but an execution worth watching.

Again, I'd like to reiterate how much I appreciate the direction the movie industry is taking. They are becoming bolder and bolder, moving away from the typical "family-friendly" movies, and I believe Uninvited will go down in the history books for this shift.

Overall, an industry-leading Filipino movie for those into crime, thrillers, vintage aesthetics, violence, and a bit of gore. It's still some ways off compared to Western production, however.
