Tonight's special is an old favorite of mine. The Uninvited was one of the first scary movies I ever saw and tonight I just felt like re-watching it. I would put this into a horror/thriller category. It is your stereotypical horror movie about demonic possession and mental illness. To go along with the movie, I chose a wonderful late night snack, Totino's Sausage pizza. If those pizzas don't scream college.. idk what does.
This movie is one where you will leave going "What the heck? Why didn't I see that coming?". It's a story of a girl named Anna who is in a mental hospital after the loss of her sick mother. The mother became terminally ill and the family moved her to the boat house, just off of the main house. One night, gas leaked into the boat house and it caught on fire, killing the mother. When Anna returns from the hospital, she comes home to her mother's nurse (Rachel), who is now her dad's new girlfriend. She has a hard time grasping this and feels like there's something seriously wrong going on. Anna and her sister Alex go on an investigation of Rachel's past and find out some really weird things. One night, while the father goes away, the situation turns ugly. You'll have to watch to see the twist at the end.. I promise you won't know what's coming.
In my opinion, this is a greaaaat movie. There are plenty of typical jumpy scares throughout. Even though I wouldn't say this movie haunted me later, the twist KILLED ME and I was so shook that I went home thinking about it for awhile. They did a great job with special effects and not making it too cheesy. I also feel as though the plot line is quite realistic and you could think about it happening in your own life.
My Rating: 9/10
