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

Like its own Asian source, this movie has a big and elaborately planted twist up its sleeve, but this time around it leaves us feeling tricked and underwhelmed -- horror primly behaving itself as a peekaboo exercise in misdirection.

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

Its most intriguing quality is that its final five minutes are so much more interesting than anything that goes before.

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

Yikes, or rather, yawn. Hokum factor - 10.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 24, 2009

The Unremarkable might be a better title for this creakily constructed but enjoyable enough scary movie.

| Apr 24, 2009

The Uninvited is decently shot and acted but has a silly ending that negates most of what has gone before.

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

This is a teenage horror film made with efficiency, as if that was enough. It's as mechanical as a train set and that's what good horror can't be.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 27, 2009

Thanks to a pair of talented actresses, The Uninvited is intriguing for almost an hour and a half. The ending is a convoluted letdown, but I have to admit I didn't guess the twist.

| Original Score: 2.25/5 | Mar 27, 2009

The direction is by the Guard Brothers, Charles and Thomas, Brits making their first feature -- and they've done a pretty slick job.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 27, 2009

It's a slick, bloodless affair that's neither as suggestive as the classic general-audiences ghost stories of the past, nor as intense as a hard-R would allow it to be.

| Original Score: C | Jan 30, 2009

The Uninvited is a mess of styles and stolen ideas, including a plot twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan roll his eyes and dialogue straight from a CW scene generator.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 30, 2009

In truth it's just a gimmicky thriller that doesn't play fair with the audience.

Full Review | Jan 30, 2009

Cheap thrills and a gimmicky twist at the climax keep The Uninvited in the realm of the subpar horror movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 30, 2009

More than that, it engages in a bit of silly Shyamalan-like slight of hand that's totally idiotic, the final ten minutes making the previous 70 about as pointless as eating five dozen caramel apples with a mouth full of rotting teeth.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 30, 2009

What can I tell you about The Uninvited that you haven't already heard about every other instantly forgettable horror flick?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2009

The story line is more crafted than it at first appears, but a big finish doesn't always make up for everything that came before. Until then, The Uninvited is basically 80 minutes of things jumping out and making loud noises.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 30, 2009

A teenager's resistance to her father's new girlfriend provides the emotional underpinnings for The Uninvited, a spooky, if narcotic, psychological thriller adapted from a 2003 K-horror suspenser.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 30, 2009
