The Uninvited (2009) 7/10

Starring : Emily Browning, Arielle Kebbel, David Straithairn, Elizabeth Banks
Director : The Guard Brothers
Running Time : 88 mins

Anna Rydell (Browning) returns home from being temporarily committed to a mental home to find that her father Steven (Straithairn) has gotten married to her dead mother’s care worker Rachel Summers (Banks), but Anna and her sister Alex (Kebbel) become convinced that Rachel was behind the accident that killed their mother, a fact Anna becomes increasingly convinced by when she is visited by ghosts in her dreams.

This starts out feeling like a horror, but soon turns into a basic thriller. The pace is just right for this sort of film, and the twists that emerge work reasonably well, but I’ve seen this sort of movie made far better before, and it did get a little confusing as to what was imagined and what was true.
