My first Blu-Ray movie. What an experience. Not only did it have amazing graphics and killer surround sound. It also froze everytime I tried to play the first chapter. Talk about a FAIL moment. However using the scene selection I was able to get started on this good little horror movie. But still not a good impression. Was it the disk or my player? Anyone else have this issue?

Anyway the producers of THE RING and DISTURBIA bring you a Korean Knock Off called THE UNINVITED. Okay to be fair I did like this film and it did have some cool parts. Heck their was even some wirework thrown in for a sweet effect. The plot goes like this following the suspicious death of their mother, sisters Anna and Alex become entangled in a deadly battle of wills when their father becomes engaged to Rachel,their mothers former caretaker/nurse. As the two sisters investigate Rachel's strange past, they areconfronted with ghostly visions, terrifying nightmares and deadly situations. All to an ending so it shockingit will make you shiver. All in all I like this film. Although it's one of those that sells itself as one thing and ends upbeing another. I thought "horror/slasher flick" and it ended up being more of a well done psychologicaldrama which was a good thing. The acting was okay although there was a lot of pouty teen in this film. Theone part that excelled was the locations and lighting. The lighting in this film was amazing.

The Blu Ray Disc extra features were not really there. Just your standard Deleted Scenes
and your standard Alternate Ending (which was lame). I did enjoy the Behind The Scenes
but it was more talking heads that anything else.

All in all I would say wait and rent this one. B-
