A pretty decent horror thriller. I haven’t watched the original, and I’m sure it’s better in its own way, but unlike others, I’m not going to trash The Uninvited only because it’s not an original project. Based on what I could find out, the Korean A Tale of Two Sisters is a very complicated and hard to understand film, while The Uninvited is quite an easygoing ghost story, which doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing, especially for those viewers who aren’t too much into Asian insanity. Technically, it’s good, the performances don’t add points, nor do they take any away. Good average overall. PS: It’s about time someone came up with a new shocking twist that dozens of other films will recycle in the next ten years, this one already pisses me off. (2009.04.15)

The Uninvited is no disgrace to its genre and deserves recognition for its carefully told story, but the only way it would have emerged from the grey of mediocrity in my eyes would have been if the protagonists' clothes had been much more fitted, or preferably non-existent. (2012.07.12)

It's nice, but it's simply just a remake of a Korean film, which not only is nice, but it's damn well-made. This is just a movie that benefits from having a really good source material. It's a shame that it's a remake, because otherwise the film could be rated even higher. Emily Browning is great here and the film has good progression, although sometimes it does copy quite a bit. The Korean (Asian) horror foundation is quite noticeable here. (2015.07.23)
