The Uninvited 2009

This is the 2009 Movies review of The Uninvited, a 2009 remake of a the 2003 Korean horror film, A Tale of Two Sisters, directed by Kim Ji Yoon. The original story is based on a Korean folktale called, "Jangha and Hongryun." Confusingly, the new 2009 movie is not related to another 2003 Korean horror film of the same name, The Uninvited.
