The Uninvited (2003)
7/10
Eerie and Mesmerizing
1 August 2023
Uninvited isn't your typical ghost story though it has familiar South Korean horror themes like suicide and infanticide.

Honestly I found it to be a bit too slow at times, and it is a whole two full hours long. However, this subtle slowness eventually winds around you like some malicious seaweed dragging you slowly under the water.

The ending is heavy and bleak rather than shocking or horrifying. In some ways this film is more of a supernatural drama that draws upon subjects like childhood trauma and its impact on adult phobias and mental illness. I highly recommend it but don't expect the usual Korean horror flick.
