The novelties of the modern horror industry are for the most part a fairly uniform conveyor product, devoid of innovation and originality, whose creators build the narrative on the alternation of bored moments. In this vein, any retreat to the side is perceived freshly, even if previously used ideas are exaggerated.
Partially exploited
Horror film “Uninvited guests” (2015) reviews of contributing authors of the leading media are ranked as such. Despite a lot of unflattering reviews, skeptical comments, the tape has a good rating according to IMDb: 5.70. The picture is able to captivate the beholder, although it causes a certain discomfort to the periodically confusing pace of the narration and unrelated events that attracted a rating of 16+. But in it there is a younger brother of the well-known Macaulay Culkin.
More psychological thriller than horror
Film critics, analyzing the tape "Uninvited guests", left mostly unflattering reviews. However, the project of director Adam Schindler, shot in the same subject as Agoraphobia, thanks to a good acting and intrigue, looks many times better than the picture with Tony Todd. Of course, the horror has significant shortcomings, among them - too complicated, sometimes not at all clear logic of the plot action. Some filmmakers, leaving reviews about the movie "Uninvited Guests", even called the film a psychological thriller, claiming the title of horror. This is too categorical statement. Individual episodes of the picture fit perfectly into the atmosphere of gloomy lawlessness, without overshadowing the narrative and not turning the picture into an unthinkable helper-skelter called "Uninvited guests". Critical reviews of the 2015 film, justifying the presence of failed episodes, point to the lack of experience of Adam Schindler and the high demands of the modern horror genre.
Creators
Debutant Adam Schindler, maybe lacks professionalism, but does not hold a sense of humor. His filmography includes only editing and work on the script for the film "Childbirth", reminiscent of the places of "Rosemary's Baby", adapted to modern realities. Having become the creator of his own brainchild, the director transfers the characters into a torn and unpredictable rhythm, subjugating the watchers, from a boring and viscous sideshow.
Screenwriters T. J. Simfel and David White, hitherto unknown to a wide audience, were involved in developing the script and plot structure. The movie "Uninvited guests" was called by the audience who read the advertising poster a horror similar to Astral and Paranormal, since the same producer was engaged in the production of all the paintings. But these horror films are only related to each other by a limitation in space, which is a fundamental component of many horror films and thrillers.
Plot
The development of the storyline of the film "Uninvited Guests" also received diametrically opposed reviews from experts. The main character, Anna (Beth Risgraf), about ten years ago, barely experienced a severe emotional shock and has not left the walls of her home since then. Her brother was in charge of all matters connected with the outside world, but soon a deadly disease brought him to the grave. Even on the day of the funeral of her only loved one, the girl could not leave the house. Therefore, the invading robbers expected a surprise in the form of a mistress. However, the bandits decided that the young recluse was not able to resist them, but soon realized that they were cruelly mistaken. Now it is not clear who is the hunter and who is the victim.
In general, when you are going to watch the movie "Uninvited guests", the reviews and the plot retold by the reviewers are not worth reading, this can seriously affect the impression of watching the horror.
With a maneuver for the audience’s imagination
The atmosphere of the beginning of the film strip is promising, everything at the beginning of the timing of the picture shouts about the inevitability of the approaching shake-up and unpredictability, but unfortunately, further the action drops to a dull and crumpled state. And the climax is somewhat contrary to common sense. Initially, the claimed claim to a maneuver to ramp up the audience’s imagination does not justify itself: all the trump cards are revealed too swiftly, but the dynamics of the film certainly will not allow the beholder to be bored. The picture keeps afloat thanks to the dynamics, professional visuals and the amazing charisma of the leader of the robbers performed by actor Jack Kesey.
Actors and roles
Among the problems of the film "Uninvited guests", critics of the movie called the characters of the picture that did not cause absolutely no sympathy: neither the main character Anna, nor the three bandits who did not shine with noble motives. An exception was the character of Rory Kalkin, who is to some extent capable of evoking positive emotions, which are immediately destined to fade in the light of events during the further development of the plot.
Although the reviewers who wrote the reviews in a positive way noted that despite the fact that not the most popular actors are involved in the production of the film, they maintain the proper level of acting. Of course, Bet Risgraf, the performer of the role of Anna, sometimes lacks emotions, and without Leticia Jimenez, they said, they could have been completely dispensed with. But Jack Kesi and Martin Starr played very convincingly. The scriptwriters of the picture, even performing identical functions of the heroes, made different, which cannot but revive the film. Horror, perhaps, lacks only cruelty.
