It's not the same as doing a show on a movie, but why not tell you what I thought about it. as with all my movie reviews, spoilers may be mentioned.
Overall, it was a slow movie. and while things "happened" it really didn't have that "horror movie" feel. The main girl of the movie comes home after a 10 month stay at a looney bin due to the PTS of seeing her mom die in an explosion. And we are led to believe that the mom's home health aid (who happens to be sharing a bed with the father now) that she killed the mom. During this time the girl accompanied by her sister is being (for lack of a better term) haunted by ghosts of people the aid had killed.
Now here is the thing. If this movie was a straight suspense movie i think it would have been fine. but it is billed as a horror movie. Now with a pg-13 raiting you can't expect mmuch (altho The Ring was pg-13). This remminds me of M. Night Shyamalan's The Village. If it would have been billed as a straight drama, i think i would have enjoyed it better.
I saw this movie with some frined's of mine and one of them turns to me and says "there is supposed to be a big twist in this movie". That set off all kinds of alarms, so now I'm looking for anything that could be clues so I can figure out the ending. I was half right. My friend was (the other) half right also. But he figured it out from the very beginning.
Once the twist was revealed, alot of things make more sense, but it raises some big questions, like why the hell was she being haunted at all....
So if you keep in mind that this is no horror movie you might this movie. If you are looking for a good horror movie, go watch My Bloody Valentine instead

I saw the trailer for The Uninvited on wics.com in the entertainment news section and I think it looks like a pretty scary movie. Although you may not be able to expect much because of the rating, but as mentioned The Ring was PG-13 as well, and I don't know about you but that movie definitely scared me! I am going to see The Uninvited, because from the trailers I saw it looks like a great horror film.
Fair enough, but once you see the movie, come back and let me know what you thought!
I suggest you watch the original movie, A Tale of Two Sisters. I am sure that the American version doesn't do it justice.
