Ridiculous thing is, these two movies are within two years apart. Never seen that before! So here's the painful part! I saw the other version when it first came out. I remember it being an at least decent movie. So then I come across this on TV thinking it's the same one. Completely confused I sat watching this painful mess of a movie trying to figure out how I couldn't possibly have remembered " the uninvited" as being such a horrible movie. I mean in the making of this movie, the apparently did not get one little tiny bit of a care as to how horribly bad acting was being played out. Yes the movie storyline itself is horrible, but the acting is downright the worst I have ever seen! Watching this movie just made me angry! Apparently they knew that once the word got out that no one would waste their time with this movie. So the only way to get an audience was to steal the name of another movie that had came out at about the exact same time. Horrible movie! As bad as it gets!

I was duped into watching this mess! My cable listing posted info for the 'other' uninvited movie. I didn't even know this one existed, and no wonder! But Anyway, I pray no one else makes my mistake because this was by far the most pointless waste of time ever. Nothing tied together or made any sense. I kept wondering why the mean character seemed so stupid. Most of the movie was filmed in very low lighting. I guess that was supposed to invoke fear, but there was nothing scary about it at all, it was just annoying and anti-climatic with zero plot. Seriously, if you are considering watching this movie, don't waste your time. I have never reviewed a movie before, but this one was so bad that I had to speak out. Hopefully I will spare someone some unnecessary suffering.

What's starts out with an interesting situation devolves into one of the stupidest hackneyed menu of random "scary" stereotypical imagery and scenes ever.Before I watched it, I noted the description, something like "woman with mental problems...". Well, it turns out there's another movie of the exact same name in 2009 with a vaguely similar premise. But when I went to IMDb to check the reviews (just the ratings), I thought I was checking up on THIS movie. The ratings for the other one are quite decent. So I thought I'd take a chance and see the movie (or what I thought was it).All through the movie (well, past the half hour mark... it's decent up until that time) I'm wondering what drugs those reviewers are on, or how much they were paid to write false reviews, or if the reviews were all written by the film makers directly.Directly after the movie ended I logged onto IMDb to investigate such false allegations of a good movie and lo and behold after I started actually reading the reviews (and not just look at the ratings) I discover that they can't possibly be talking about THIS movie.If I do one positive thing before I die, if might be to lower your expectations about this movie enough so that you expect crap, but come away pleased that there was indeed *some* good stuff about it.

I watched this movie on one of those days when you're ready to just sit back, relax and hopefully get treated to something really great that you just can't wait to tell somebody about. Well...it sucked, and now I feel obligated to sit in the reviewers corner with the other disenchanted viewers who kept waiting for something, anything, to happen in this film.We generally give every film a fighting chance at least for the first 20 minutes right? Even if it's creeping along as the characters are developed and the plot is revealed,I can usually be fairly patient, but instead I found myself clock watching till it was almost over.One of my biggest pet peeve's is the overuse of extreme darkness in a film, it's impossible to watch especially if you're watching a movie during the day, and there's ambient daylight falling on your TV. The only revealing thing about this situation is it shows you how many fingerprints are on your TV screen. With a four year old in the house, that means many.As far as the characters I'm a little biased since I'm a huge Colin Hay fan, I wanted him to be good in this, but the script didn't allow it. Mr. Hay in my opinion is by far one of the most talented musicians out there however this script bound him to a mediocre at best character.I thought the main character Lee was believable and as neutral in personality as Nick's, but perhaps it was the two like personalities,the overuse of darkness, and the "baby thing" thrown in at the last minute that left me with a feeling akin to buying that gotta have it gizmo thing from a late night info-mercial only to be sadly disappointed when you finally open the box.All in all I think some good talent got sent straight to video on a slow train to nowhere.
