Rated: P3-13 | Review date: 23-Oct-2009

At first glance, the Guard Brothers’ “The Uninvited” plays out like your typical American remake of Asian horror. From the start it has all the goodies that make for cheap thrills and predictable scares. This all takes a surprising turn towards the end of the film. Though the twists and turns may not be wholly original, for me they were unexpected for the most part, and the ending definitely made up for what I felt the beginning lacked. The acting was not bad at all either, with the highlight being star Emily Browning. Overall  “The Uninvited” takes a genre that’s been done over and over and still manages to be thrilling and captivating.
