The Uninvited is a film structurally sound, linguistically crafted, and brilliantly executed.

David Strathairn takes a throwaway role and brings the appropriate blend of menace and warmth.

The only genuinely startling moments come via the deafening sound effects that accompany a large roast hitting the floor and Anna scraping metal hangers along a clothing rack.

It's not original, it's not especially clever and the twist won't make you want to watch it again, but hey - at least it wasn't The Unborn.

The Uninvited may strike even viewers who don't know the original as disarmingly familiar.

This is one of those "gotcha!" movies where nothing you see can be believed.

Take a 'concept', strip it bare of all layers of meaning, remake it with added genre cliches and scantily clad American teens in order to a 'wider audience'. Voila.

Just to set the taste level, the first line in The Uninvited is 'I love you, I have a condom.' Yep, the bar is already lowered.

A mild improvement over its nigh unwatchable predecessor...

Suffers from a meekness -- its scares never dig deep and are more sensational than disturbing, and its storyline has been modified to something more conventional.

The latest teen horror, directed by Charles and Thomas Guard, has a bit more patience than such films usually display.

It is less bloody and less ambiguous than the original.

Simon Reynolds Digital Spy Apr 25, 2009 3/5

The Uninvited is workmanlike and has a twist too many, but it's always entertaining and kept afloat by three game leading ladies and competent hands behind the camera.

Unremarkable, unimaginative and unnecessary. Check out the superior original instead.

Poor remake of the Korean thriller.

As in the original, the film slyly manipulates the audience's perspective, and a brilliantly filmed climactic 'reveal' marks this British duo as a pair to watch.

The Uninvited is a little too mild-mannered to please any but the most vanilla of horror fans.
