Synopsis: Filmmaking duo Thomas and Charles Guard make their feature directorial debuts as the co-directors of this remake of Kim Jee-woon's 2003 Korean film A Tale of Two Sisters. Produced by Asian horror remake king Roy Lee, The Uninvited tells the story of a young girl named Anna (Emily Browning), who was admitted into a mental hospital following the death of her biological mother. Returning home some time later, Anna is shocked to discover that her father (David Strathairn) has recently gotten engaged to Rachel (Elizabeth Banks), her mother's former nurse. Anna's suspicions about Rachel are soon confirmed when her mother reaches out from the beyond to deliver a stark warning, prompting the young girl and her sister (Arielle Kebbel) to try and convince their father that Rachel is not who she appears to be. As the situation in the once-peaceful household rapidly begins to deteriorate, Rachel's true colors finally begin boiling to the surface. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
My Review: I have to say wow. I was really impressed and surprised at this movie. I didn't really expect to be that great but it was pretty good most of the way and the ending was a complete shock and unexpected. The film had its moments of being scary but there wasn't anything too bad. I still can't get over how much I really liked the ending of this movie.
Recommend: Check it out for sure. Don't watch it with the kids though as it won't be too interesting for them and maybe a little too scary. Great movie for a date.
