"An effective blend of thriller and horror - of The Hand that Rocks the Cradle and The Grudge - The Uninvited is the best Hollywood adaptation of an Asian horror title since The Ring. Taut, nervy performances, lean, unobtrusive direction and a smattering of wit in the script make this the rare horror picture that rises above cheesy "gotchas" and gore... You can see the payoff coming and like many movies of the genre, there's a tendency to oversell the coda... But that bit of dumbing down doesn't make The Uninvited any less welcome." - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
