This is one of those "gotcha!" movies where nothing you see can be believed.

Take a 'concept', strip it bare of all layers of meaning, remake it with added genre cliches and scantily clad American teens in order to a 'wider audience'. Voila.

As far as PG-13 Americanizations of Asian shockers go, it's about 70 percent passable

It's not original, it's not especially clever and the twist won't make you want to watch it again, but hey - at least it wasn't The Unborn.

The Uninvited is a mess of styles and stolen ideas, including a plot twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan roll his eyes and dialogue straight from a CW scene generator.

The only genuinely startling moments come via the deafening sound effects that accompany a large roast hitting the floor and Anna scraping metal hangers along a clothing rack.

In truth it's just a gimmicky thriller that doesn't play fair with the audience.

As in the original, the film slyly manipulates the audience's perspective, and a brilliantly filmed climactic 'reveal' marks this British duo as a pair to watch.

The Uninvited may strike even viewers who don't know the original as disarmingly familiar.

It's a slick, bloodless affair that's neither as suggestive as the classic general-audiences ghost stories of the past, nor as intense as a hard-R would allow it to be.

Cheap thrills and a gimmicky twist at the climax keep The Uninvited in the realm of the subpar horror movie.

An effective blend of thriller and horror.
