Trailers: The Uninvited

I had heard rumors for a while that a remake of 2003's Korean film A Tale Of Two Sisters was happening. And now we've got the trailer.



I'm not generally a fan of these remakes as most of them have been terrible (The Ring is a rare exception). I think there's also been a huge failure in adapting the mostly Asian stories to American cinema (there are occasionally films from other places like the upcoming Quarantine which is a remake of the Spanish language film [Rec]). Something about cultural and historical differences. Imagine that.

Anyway, my point is that I'm very not excited about The Uninvited. If nothing else that trailer looks silly and the title is horrible. The Uninvited? That's really the best they could come up with? They couldn't have called it something more generic? Do you have any idea how many other horror movies there are out there called The Uninvited? I can promise you there are a few.

I do however highly recommend the original Tale of Two Sisters. It's an atmospheric, creepy movie that builds the tension well and pays off in the end. I enjoy it quite a bit.

About This Thing

This blog is about film and life in the wonderful world of LA. I'm a filmmaker just getting started; I'm navigating my way through the industry, trying to find work, and sometimes even managing to make a living.

I've worked across the country on projects big and small. Everything from an indie in PA shot during the dead of winter to one of the bigger reality shows involving Models and the things they do.

I also just love doing things*. I'm a writer, aspiring director, wannabe photographer and cook. I waste too much time on the internet and sometimes all I want to do is hang out with my dog.

Stick around and chances are you'll catch me writing about it all.

*I use the word "thing" a lot. An inappropriate amount. I can't help it. There are just so many different things to talk about. And I just kind of like it.
