This South Korean film has some of the trappings of my beloved Asian ghost stories, but uses the supernatural mainly as metaphor and amplifier of its themes.Something I normally abhor, mostly because only very few directors are able to do this without losing all emotional effect. In The Uninvited it works perfectly. To heartbreaking effect.
So if you are in the mood to be depressed by a film about loneliness and the boundless ability of us humans to lie to ourselves, as well as our equally boundless inability to face the truth without breaking, I can highly recommend it.
And yes, it is a recommendation.
