The Uninvited Reviews

When you see what happens, you’ll probably laugh, roll your eyes, or mutter, “Gimmie a break.” What you won’t do is recoil from terror

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 2, 2023

The Uninvited is a film structurally sound, linguistically crafted, and brilliantly executed.

| Sep 4, 2021

David Strathairn takes a throwaway role and brings the appropriate blend of menace and warmth.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 26, 2020

The only genuinely startling moments come via the deafening sound effects that accompany a large roast hitting the floor and Anna scraping metal hangers along a clothing rack.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 15, 2013

It's not original, it's not especially clever and the twist won't make you want to watch it again, but hey - at least it wasn't The Unborn.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2012

The Uninvited may strike even viewers who don't know the original as disarmingly familiar.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 20, 2012

This is one of those "gotcha!" movies where nothing you see can be believed.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

Take a 'concept', strip it bare of all layers of meaning, remake it with added genre cliches and scantily clad American teens in order to a 'wider audience'. Voila.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 13, 2011

As far as PG-13 Americanizations of Asian shockers go, it's about 70 percent passable

| Aug 26, 2009

Just to set the taste level, the first line in The Uninvited is 'I love you, I have a condom.' Yep, the bar is already lowered.

| Original Score: F | Jun 10, 2009

A mild improvement over its nigh unwatchable predecessor...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2009

Suffers from a meekness -- its scares never dig deep and are more sensational than disturbing, and its storyline has been modified to something more conventional.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 7, 2009

The latest teen horror, directed by Charles and Thomas Guard, has a bit more patience than such films usually display.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2009

It is less bloody and less ambiguous than the original.

| Apr 28, 2009

The Uninvited is workmanlike and has a twist too many, but it's always entertaining and kept afloat by three game leading ladies and competent hands behind the camera.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2009

Unremarkable, unimaginative and unnecessary. Check out the superior original instead.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Apr 24, 2009

Poor remake of the Korean thriller.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2009

As in the original, the film slyly manipulates the audience's perspective, and a brilliantly filmed climactic 'reveal' marks this British duo as a pair to watch.

| Original Score: 3/6 | Apr 24, 2009

The Uninvited is a little too mild-mannered to please any but the most vanilla of horror fans.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2009

They are all just guests at a camp masked ball - poised to unveil themselves in a denouement that somehow manages to be more outlandish - and more comic - than all the bumps and rattles that went before.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2009
