Review of The Uninvited (2003) by Nicolai P — 19 Mar 2009
I do not understand the plot, but I do like that it is not afraid of the taboo of killing many small children in horrific ways - you almost never see that in a horror film! But stop! Then again.. Is this really a horror film or a drama with horror elements? After the end credits started rolling over my television I came to the conclusion, that it was a drama with horror elements and not a horror film.
You must be aware of that before, if you have any expectations of watching a new Asian horror film in the style of "Dark Water" and "The Ring" - you will be disappointed. The main character's biggest problem is some traumatizing events in his childhood, that he has forgot and now he is forced to face the truth about his own past and yatayatayata.
.. I was actually bored with this film, but I do like the horror elements which are well-made and clearly where this film's strongholds are - the horror elements. Watch it you want to watch a drama film with some horror elements and some psyched out story of a young man in and his unknown past.
