I’m going to take this opening paragraph to just spit some kudos out at the folks who did The Uninvited, because they really whomped up a doozy of a suspense plot here.
Okay–that having been said, basically, the plot of The Uninvited is actually going to sound really, REALLY familiar. Like unsettlingly familiar. Like the kind of thing you’ve seen dozens of times before on Lifetime familiar. But basically, following the mysterious death of their mother, sisters Alex and Anna find themselves suspicious of their father’s new love, Rachel, the nurse who cared for their mother in the days leading up to her death in a fire.
Rachel’s past is full of questions, and Alex and Anna believe there’s more to this story than meets the eye. And Rachel’s showing a whole lot of interest in Alex and Anna’s writer father, a development that’s got the girls freaked out mightily. But when they find out the truth behind Rachel…will they act? Or will they find that even the truth they find isn’t so true after all?
That last sentence was so spectacularly convoluted for one very good reason—it matches the movie. See, this might surprise you, but The Uninvited is a remake of a 2003 Korean horror film. Now, Korean horror LOVES ghost stories—they comprise much of the entirety of Korean horror that I’ve encountered so far. So it won’t come as a surprise to any of you that this one is going to HEAVILY feature ghosts…or at least what LOOK like ghosts. That’s going to be the other really big thing about this movie—most of what you’ll see isn’t exactly what’s going on. All of this builds up to this really awesome ending that has to be seen to be believed. I’m not the only one who’s noticed this, either—it’s well worth watching.
