too complicated Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
i tried so hard to give this movie my attention. but in the end i had to stop watching and turn it off. its too hard to follow and very boring. there are no real jumpy AH! moments so i dont see why its called a horror film.

i would advise people not to waste money on this. its a tad bit good at the start but when he gets to know the woman in the story thats when it goes down hill really fast and the story line just goes all over the place.

not worth buying

 A Psychological Apartment Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
This is not the usual ghost horror normally expected. No long haired Sadako leitmotiv here! But certainly a very disturbing and quite depressing social horror concerning infanticide and disturbed childhoods. Although there seems to be divided opinion here, I do think the film has interesting linked themes about strained motherhood, alienation, mental aberrations, narcolepsy (sleep disorder), religion and social disorder. Although due its over wrought content, different viewers will focus on some areas than others and certainly this film needs to be seen a few times over to grasp more of the none superficial themes. Its like " A Tale of Two Sisters" in that case. The meaning behind the two character's visions are made more clearer as the film progresses, as they journey through blocked memories unraveling dark secrets about their individual pasts. The supernatural is played down to things like coincidences with the two main characters eventually meeting each other and having oddly similar mental conditions, or the ghost visions of the children. Still, I couldn't understand all the aspects of the infanticide victims when the main focus seemed to be with the male interior designer's visions of the children in the tube train and at the dining table for 4 at his apartment. Was Yeon's baby dropped from the window not one of the children at the "table for 4"? Ju-hyun Jeon also plays an understandably sombre role here of Yeon and a complete contrast to the lovable and slightly crazy character of "My Sassy Girl".

I think this film is also viewed more from a woman's perspective, due to lady director Lee Su-yeon and to the film's concerns of troubled motherhood and child rearing. Mother hood itself is a major theme and of how it can be shaken badly by an individual's disturbed past. It also features a quite complex and woven script concerning religious and symbolic themes connected to psychological trauma. The acting is very good by both main leads and worth seeing for Ji-hyun's performance in a more serious role. Certainly well filmed and quite atmospheric, but with a more subtle and slower pace than with similar ghost flicks. Still, this is more a psychological/social debate sitting alongside similar films like "2 Sisters", "Into the Mirror" and "Whispering Corridors". So don't expect an Ahn Byung-ki "Apartment" even though these urban high rise cloisters are featured here and do reflect the alienation of living alone in such tenements. Certainly some nasty scenes of the children's deaths in one or two scenes could disturb some people, which jolted me quite a bit at one point. One scene is really quite nasty. As mentioned this is a depressing film, but I think a well written cathartic exercise, that does leave some food for thought after it finishes. Its meaning is all in there, but can be somewhat muddling at times. The religious links, for me, though, were quite interesting especially regarding a mother's acceptance and belief of her child, alongside the acceptance aspects of Christ. Although in this case a very disturbed and suffering woman with an injured past. Definitely recommended if you haven't seen it yet, but try to stick with it to the end. Re-watchable.

GOT LOST SOMEWHERE Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
THIS MOVIE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY CANNOT IDENTIFY IF, HORROR OR SUSPENSE OR LOVE STORY. TOO BAD, THE ACTOR ARE REALLY 'A1'. THEY DON'T SUIT THEIR ROLES. BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING SOMETHING TO PASS OUR TIME, YOU CAN FINISH THE FILM.

The Uninvited Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
I am a fan of Park Shin Yang which was the reason of my purchase. However, the film is sooooo slow and the main actress's script is unbelievablely slow too. It took the pleasure away.

VERY SLOW!! Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
The Uninvited was a verrrrryyy slow movie. I bought this movie after going to it’s website but I'll admit that it’s not as good as it seems. However, when those “scary” parts appear, I do jump!

wonderful show Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
for ages, i have not seen a show as carefully plotted out... while there are many "canned concepts and ideas" in existing movie scene, THE UNINVITED is a movie that showcase excellent thinking and plot.

the director did a fantastic job on capturing an atmosphere of suspense and did not follow any trends in current movie trends to turn up the volume and scare ur life out of you. instead, when approaching a frightful scene, the camera moves slowly, as though you are the person walking towards the view and u are slow and reluntant.

if anyone was to watch the show and did not understand it perfectly, i think u should watch it again, and try to do it in one go, instead of getting to get snacks every 10minutes.

the way this movie was protrayed was to make u feel disturbed and make ur skin crawl. hope you all can watch it and understand the show.

Just ok Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
This movie was a good career move for Jeon Ji Hyun. At least she won't get typecast after My Sassy Girl. She did an excellent job in this movie and has separated herself as a serious actress. This movie was just ok to me, I didn't find it particularly scary or disturbing. I would recommend "The Eye" instead.
