Remain Uninvited

Despite the onslaught of tv advertising, please send a message to the movie industry and skip the new film The Uninvited. Do yourself a favor and pick up the DVD of the Korean original A Tale of Two Sisters.

I personally find it insulting that in the US we are not deemed worthy of seeing foreign films in theaters (at least not in wide release) but instead are subjected to Americanized remakes, which never stack up to the original. From Ju-on/The Grudge to Ringu/The Ring to One Missed Call to The Eye, Asian horror is a hit on DVD and I have to imagine that a wide release of a Japanese or Korean horror film has to be much cheaper than a remake with a massive publicity budget.
