BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

MovieGuy01 I watched The Uninvited last night, and i found it to be a very good Asian horror film, although the film had a running time of 121 minutes which felt very slow at the beginning ended up to be a great horror film. It is about a man called Jeong-won who has no memory of his childhood and who his real family were. At the start of the film he witnesses the deaths of two young girls on board a train that he is on. He starts to begin seeing the girls dead bodies sitting at his kitchen table, and is worried about his mental health He meets Yeon a women who is narcoleptic who is also witness in a infant murder case. Yeon can also see the ghosts that Jeong-won can. He finds out she is a psychic and can help him recover his lost memories. I found the film to be very good towards the ending. A very good horror film. 7/10

refresh daemon The Uninvited is a frustrating film because it has a lot going for it, including a great premise, beautiful production values, a great eye for picture and even capable actors. The problem is that, like many of the weaker Corean films, the script itself suffers from a bit of a convoluted, misdirected and sometimes pointless story. Not to say that there aren't good ideas and even characters in the story, but the story itself is weak because it doesn't really follow a meaningful trajectory and sometimes seems to double back on itself.Nonetheless, there's a lot that's positive about the film. The Uninvited has tremendous power in the way that it creates its atmosphere. There is clearly a sense of uneasiness and brooding even without the supernatural elements. The art, set and production design is often excellent in both being art, but also seeming to fit right into the reality of the setting. The director and director of photography together have an amazing eye for lighting as well as camera direction and some of the mis-en-scene reveals are quite potent.Also, I was impressed by the actors; the protagonist, played by Park Shin-Yang, who I'd only seen before in a gangster versus monk comedy, surprisingly carries his everyman suffering with visions aptly and Gianna Jun (Jun Ji-Hyun) plays surprisingly well the quiet and depressed psychic well. All the side players cover their roles well too.The story itself does have a lot going for it. Dealing with past trauma as well as the effect of knowing terrible truths. Unfortunately, the inability to focus on the characters and their decisions, the sometimes contrived and unexplained ways to introduce problems, and the lack of narrative or emotional resolution cause it to be quite a frustrating view in the end.I can't recommend The Uninvited, but if you don't necessarily need a strong story and want to witness a rather striking work that explores the above-mentioned theme while gathering a rather impressive atmosphere, you could check this out. Passable on those merits, but not choice viewing due to a weak story. There needs to be a stronger division of labor in Corea--good directors that are weak writers need to be paired with stronger writers. 6/10.

Star_Red The Uninvited starts out very slow, with a hesitating, introverted main character, which all puts a test on your patience, but hold on and you will be rewarded with a genuinely horrifying viewing experience, which lets you forget all previously seen so-called horror movies by US studios.I do not like gore or cheap shock scenes that make you jump for a moment, but prefer subtle, realistic psychological horror instead, and this is what The Uninvited delivers: A sense of true horror with one specific sequence that is so disturbing and surreal in its whole execution, but realistic and gripping at the same time, you will not be able to shake off this creepy atmosphere out of your head afterwards.Having said this, The Uninvited has a few flaws. The pacing is extremely slow, the storyline has too many sub-plots, most of which felt unnecessary to the main plot, and some images seem borrowed from other horror films. Nevertheless, if you are looking for a subtle, slow-burn horror with a stark, disturbing center-piece, you should give The Uninvited a try.

Rocco3000 CAUTION: This movie is very very long and very very slow! Although it is a very good movie, and well worth seeing, I would strongly advise that you do not watch this movie just before bed time. Watch it when you are fully rested, or you will fall asleep.Another cautionary note, is that IMDb should remove the categories, Horror and Thriller, because this movie is strictly a Drama, and a very slow moving one at that. It does have some ghosts in it, maybe 2 or 3 scenes in the beginning, but they are really not that scary, nor are they really meant to scare. And they are long forgotten once you have reached the 90mins mark.It is a very sad movie with most of the characters going through some really deep trauma, so if you are looking for something upbeat, look somewhere else.This is a very good movie though. With some terrific performances by the actors and a very good effort by the director. Definitely worth seeing. Just be ready for something sad, slow and long.
