ReelViews
The Uninvited is a flawed production, but gratifying in the way it delivers. The interesting and unique elements of the movie effectively compensate for the formulaic way in which the plot develops. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
Emily Browning's face helps The Uninvited work so well...She makes you fear for her, and that's half the battle. Yet she's so fresh she's ready for a Jane Austen role. - 70
L.A. Weekly
A remake of the 2003 Korean horror film "A Tale of Two Sisters," The Uninvited is a Hand That Rocks the Cradle–type thriller that's been dressed up as a horror movie. - 63
Chicago Tribune
The actors are strong, however, and Banks in particular shows some skill and wiles in keeping her rascally stepmother stereotype lively. - 60
Washington Post
Experienced horror fans will probably stay one step ahead of the game, but it's still a nice ride. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The film is still cheesy rather than deliciously scary. It never really generates sustained suspense. - 50
The A.V. Club
The result is a middling Frankenstein-like hybrid of spectral mayhem and murder mystery, constructed entirely out of borrowed parts. - 40
Variety
Weak even by the standard of uninspired recent Asian-horror remakes, The Uninvited is more likely to induce snickers and yawns than shudders and yelps.
