The Uninvited

The Uninvited evokes the recent film The Unborn but they have as much in common as a Mustang and a BMW. They're both movies and they each fall into the horror genre but they only have similar sounding titles. Unborn, while hokey to the max, had Gary Oldman hamming it up while conducting a Kabbalah style exorcism. By contrast The Uninvited tells a ghost story in a linear manner.
The Uninvited pits newcomer Emily Browning (Australian actress) as Anna against Elizabeth Banks (almost overexposed in movies at this point) here playing the evil stepmother. Also debuting are the directors, the Guard Brothers. Minimum results but nicely put together package will pass the muster for genre fans and drift like a ghost unnoticed by movie goers at large.
Anna starts the film in an asylum for attempted suicide. Her wrist scars are horizontal rather than vertical, showing that she's not exactly a perfectionist. David Straithairn plays the Dad and his performance in particular seems phoned in. The Uniinvited is a remake of a Korean film but in reality it's just a remake of endless ghost stories with scary things hiding, waiting to pop forth from underneath.
