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.
Nigel Floyd, Time Out
Rotten
The Uninvited may strike even viewers who don't know the original as disarmingly familiar.
Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out New York
Rotten
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.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten
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.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
