Memorable, crazy movie

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I have no idea what just happened in this movie, who most of the characters were, and I have a raging headache. This movie left me cold, disappointed, very confused, and wishing I could have my 2 hours back. The characters are not really developed aside from the main character, Lee. The other characters aren't essential to the plot, are mostly absent from the story, and their interactions with Lee don't make any sense and do not drive the story along, so you don't care about them. It's nearly impossible to feel connected or even interested in the other characters. I've been sitting here for about 15 minutes trying to figure out what the plot was supposed to be and why the director failed to notice that the final cut of this film is a nonsensical mess. I'm terribly confused and angry, because I thought I would be watching the more recent film by the same name and my cable company failed to notice the difference.Seriously, do not waste your time on this piece of garbage.

I had high hopes to see a decent independent film with Ms. Moreau as an interesting female lead who is recovering from her unique phobia of big spaces. First part was fine, showing her issue through the lens of a documentary, and how she has overcome her fear and is living in a nice cabin house in the mountains with her new husband.If they had focused the movie on her phobia (which she played effectively) and the scary old woman that triggered it (and somehow killed her childhood friend? This does not get explained) I would have probably enjoyed the film. But no, they had to throw a bunch of stuff at you that didn't make sense. Some demons/spirits are tangible, others disappear? The house was the scene of 'dead bodies' but we don't know how/why they died? There's going to be a baby sacrifice? And her husband's in on it? And maybe at the end she is possessed? Don't look for explanations because they give none.Technically speaking, Marguerite Moreau is a pretty good actress although for most of the movie she just runs around scared and crying and hiding. The male lead was, so-so. The young female was kind of bad although in her defense the writers mostly made her act like a teen brat who waves a gun around and demands her baby back. The special effects were laughably bad and not sure why they even included them. Music was so-so. The lighting was irritating because many scenes were so dark that rather than scare me they just confused me.To sum up, the writers did a nice job introducing the set-up but then proceeded to destroy everything by never tying up loose ends and leaving you remembering only the bad effects and confusing plot. Don't watch this film. It's pretty bad.

I saw this movie on IFC, originally thinking I was watching the 2009 film of the same title (thanks, cable company for mis-labeling the description!) The beginning was interesting but the rest of the movie fell flat. It was confusing and disjointed throughout. Although I like Marguerite Moreau, in my opinion very few movies can be successful with only one actor on screen for the majority of the film (e.g., Cast Away) and this one is no exception. Even the greatest actress in the world would have had nothing to work with here. I was intrigued by Lee's unusual phobia and how it was initially presented to the viewer. However, the only reason I kept watching it was because I expected (or hoped) that the rest of it would live up to the beginning, and I was sorely disappointed. There were certainly scary moments, if you are into that sort of thing, but even those were very predicable - I almost always knew when to look away or turn down the volume to avoid being bombarded by yet another scary face.The plot simply didn't go anywhere and the film just dragged and dragged. I don't believe that the origins of the phobia were adequately explained. I was waiting for some big revelation about the old woman, what had happened next door, etc., but it never came. I certainly didn't come to any better understanding about it. The character experienced flashbacks from her childhood but nothing connected to the present. The scenes with the therapist were confusing - was she recalling the therapy or was she imagining it now in order to cope with her current situation? The subplot with the ghosts in the house and demonic presences was poorly executed. Okay, so the spirits were messing with her mind. So what? To what end? It was obvious that her husband had drugged her - why else would he keep asking if she ate the breakfast? The husband seemed sketchy all along and I wasn't surprised that he turned out to be evil, or an opportunist, or whatever. But that whole storyline was inadequately presented and was not resolved.The movie seemed to tease the viewer with the beginnings of ideas but failed to follow through, as in a poorly supported essay or thesis. You were teased about the husband's new project dealing with spirits, but there was no elaboration. You were teased about the history of the house, but not enough information was provided. You were presented with the situation with the girl and her baby, and it rang incredibly false. To me the girl's character was unnecessary and uninspired. I realize she was there in order to move the plot along, but it didn't work. I wasn't invested and didn't care what happened to her. I didn't care about her baby. There wasn't enough of a presence of her in the movie to make the viewer engage in her character. The man in chains was another confusing character. Yeah, I get it, he was scary, but what was he doing there? What did he add, other than a tribute to Frankenstein's monster? I realize, unintentionally, my review of the movie has been quite choppy. Inadvertent as this was, this is appropriate since it parallels the path of the movie. Nothing made sense, nothing was properly explained or concluded. At the end I found myself wondering, what the heck was this movie about? Although I did not enjoy the movie I was hoping for some kind of resolution, something to take away, some bottom line I could gather as to what the film was about. But I was disappointed yet again, and I still can't figure it out. I am a fan of films that weave the plot with enough ambiguity to allow the viewer to make up his own mind and draw his own conclusions. This wasn't one of those movies. There were so many gaping holes in the plot that there were no dots to connect - just wide open space. You are left guessing all the way through, and worse, at the end, you don't even care.Bottom line - if you like psychological thrillers, horror movies, ghost stories, occult films, or movies in general, stay away. You will just be annoyed that you wasted your time. I would rank this movie among the worst I have ever seen. It was a failure as a scary movie or any other genre of film.

well i saw this movie on television when i was bored and it was quite late in my room alone then this movie started i first mixed it with the other famous uninvited (2009), as i started watchin' it thinking' that i'm watchin' that famous one i really began to like it after a while i knew it was some other movie but it still had my interest, and the style they started this movie was also very interestin' tellin' some woman's past how she got some phobia n now she can't see in open space n stuff, well i hav to say it did'nt disappoint me that much as i was really scared at some moments, really got my interest thou there were some defects in the script could have been much better if they had taken the suspense and intensity till the end but it was'nt really there till the end. still i would say it is a pretty interestin', scary and enjoyable movie and i i'll suggest u guys to watch this movie with an open mind don't expect anythin' or make your predictions about the story.
