The Uninvited

HEY KIDS!

"I LOVE YOU AND I HAVE A CONDOM." That is the first line in the movie. And just like that line this movie was A HOT MESS!

I must admit, I was NOT AT ALL interested in seeing this movie. The only reason I went to see it was to satisfy my curiosity about the incredible surprise ending. I mean every where I turned I was hearing about this ending. So I had to go and check it out for myself.

This film stars Elizabeth Banks (Role Models, W. and Zach and Miri Make a Porno) as the "evil" new girlfriend. Emily Browning (Violet in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) as the main character of the movie (in other words her big break), Arielle Kebbel (John Tucker Must Die, American Pie's Band Camp, Soul Plane) as big sister Alex, and Oscar nominated actor David Strathairn (Good Night and Good Luck) stars as Stephen the father who is grieving the loss of his sick wife by fondling a much younger women (who also happened to be his wife's personal nurse before she died) I know what you are thinking and I have no idea why he is in this movie either.

The movie takes place in a beautiful and picturesque town in Maine. The lake house alone that the majority of the movie takes place in is absolutely gorgeous. And the scenery and shots of the lake community is nothing short of Breathtaking!

Of course this is suppose to be scary, suspense filled and it attempts to be. But it fails miserably. The acting was decent but that is really all of that I have to say about this movie. I would not recommend going to pay to see this movie. Wait til it comes out on DVD if you are really that interested in knowing what happens at the end (and it is a definite shocker, I was NOT READY!). But once you have seen all the movies that this tries to live up to you have seen them all.

~Verdict~

Two snaps DOWN and a NO MA'AM for the ending!

HATED IT!!!!
