Without further ado, prepare to hate her stepmother because we are about to begin.

    The soundtrack is non-existent and does not contribute anything at any time; It is a completely wasted resource.
    La banda sonora es inexistente y no aporta nada en ningún momento; es un recurso completamente desperdiciado.

    The same thing happens with the construction of the world, it is a section that does not contribute anything to the plot nor is it interesting in any way, this is even more serious if we take into account that the film opts for a final revelation, which would have had coherence if it had been anticipated in some way or another through this section.
    Con la construcción del mundo pasa lo mismo, es un apartado que no aporta en nada a la trama ni es interesante de ninguna forma, esto es incluso más grave si se toma en cuenta que el filme apuesta por una revelación final, la cual hubiera tenido coherencia si se hubiese anticipado de alguna u otra forma mediante este apartado.

    Its plot is boring, throughout the film only elements are sought that try to feed the main mystery, however, all this is worked in a horrible way and does not really contribute anything more than the fact of having a slow pace, the moments of horror are quite crude and unfunny. Narratively it is a disaster, the film opts for an unexpected final twist in order to surprise the viewer, the problem is that said revelation is completely forced and absurd as it was not anticipated in some way so that it had some coherence. The film wastes a lot of time with things that contribute nothing, so its duration feels exaggerated even though it is short. This is because none of the things shown are important in the end and it only feels like a loss. of time.
    Su trama es aburrida, a lo largo del filme solo se van buscando elementos los cuales intentan alimentar el misterio principal, sin embargo, todo esto es trabajado de forma horrible y no aporta realmente nada más que el hecho de tener un ritmo lento, los momentos de terror son bastante burdos y sin gracia. Narrativamente es un desastre, la cinta apuesta por dar un giro final inesperado a fin de sorprender al espectador, el problema es que dicha revelación es completamente forzada y absurda al no ser anticipada de alguna forma a fin de que tuviese algo de coherencia. La película pierde mucho el tiempo con cosas que no aportan nada por lo que su duración se siente exagerada pese a que sea poca, lo anterior se debe a que ninguna de las cosas que se muestran tiene importancia al final y solo se siente como una pérdida de tiempo.

    Nothing to highlight, they are all empty shells without personality who only do things because the plot demands it, even the death of some is completely unexplored and lacks the relevance it was supposed to have, a completely disastrous section.
    Nada que destacar, todos son unos cascarones vacíos sin personalidad que solo hacen cosas porque la trama lo exige, incluso, la muerte de algunos es completamente inexplorada y carece de la relevancia que se supone debía tener, un apartado completamente desastroso.

    The Uninvited doesn't know what it wants to be, it wastes a lot of time on things that in the end are not important so the aspects that are relevant lack even a decent job, ergo, all its revelations and final twists feel forced and out of place by lacking any iota of narrative congruence. It is for all of the above that it deserves 1 star out of 7, the idea of ​​betting everything on a final twist is only interesting if it is done correctly, if not the case, you only have a mess like this film was.
    The Uninvited no sabe que es lo que quiere ser, pierde mucho tiempo en cosas que al final no son importantes por lo que los aspectos que sí son relevantes carecen de un trabajo tan siquiera decente, ergo, todas sus revelaciones y giros finales se sienten forzados y fuera de lugar al carecer de cualquier ápice de congruencia narrativa. Es por todo lo anterior que merece 1 estrella de 7, la idea de apostar todo por un giro final es interesante solamente si se realiza de la forma correcta, de no ser el caso, solo se tiene un bodrio como lo fue este filme.

  2. Review - The Uninvited (1944)@thunderjack1070d

    The Uninvited (1944) is a supernatural horror story that revolves around a brother (Rick – Ray Milland) and sister (Pamela – Ruth Hussey), who buy a mansion on the coast of Cornwall. As the plot unfolds, the now former owner, Commander Beech (Donald Crisp), is aware of strange things going on there, and the focus of the various events involve his granddaughter, Stella (Gail Russell). The film builds more on the suspense of the situation the main characters find themselves in, and the mystery of the house and and how it involves Stella. That’s as much of the plot that I want to give you, but I want to also add that Alan Napier (Alfred from Batman in the ‘60s) also appears in this film.

    *The Uninvited* poster - [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037415/mediaviewer/rm2565281792?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_pos_14)
    Why this film works so well is thanks to the sense of foreboding that Rick and Pamela experience in the house, as well as the experiences of Stella when she spends time there. The performances by the lead and supporting actors is excellent, especially Ray Milland and Donald Crisp. I’ve seen Milland in a numerous AIP films from the late ‘50s to mid-’70s, when he did a lot of science fiction and horror films. Crisp I have also seen in a few other films over the years, and Gail Russell I remember best from *The Angel and the Badman* (1947) with John Wayne.
    Napier, Milland, Russell, and Hussey - sceance scene - [IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037415/mediaviewer/rm4235153408?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_sf_5)
    *The Univited* is a solid entry in horror films, and a classic that holds up well today. The location of the main house that is the focus of the film is set near a cliff boarding the ocean, and there are some sequences that add to the foreboding, some of which had to be conveyed mainly by dialog between Rick and Pamela, other times with some filming techniques. Not wanting to give some of that away, in case anyone is interested in seeing it. Except one scene where Rick is playing a piece of music he is composing for Stella, and suddenly turns from cheerful to a more dark tune. The piece, played on a piano (there are at least two in the house, unsurprising as Rick is a composer and music critic), is an interesting piece, although I doubt Ray Milland is actually playing the piano.

    Something I want to note about Gail Russell, and this goes back to the first film I saw her in, The Angel and the Badman. I had to look her up, and saw that her life was filled with tragedy, dying quite young at the age of 36. Truly tragic loss. There are several other films that I have seen her in, but The Uninivted and The Angel and the Badman are the two I know her best from. You can find out more about Russell on her wikipeida page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Russell

    There is a lot to like about this film, including the directing by Lewis Allen, and the music score which enhances a suspenseful film, but mostly the story itself is interesting and unfolds with several wrinkles here and there, and an unexpected twist that caught me off guard the first time I saw it.

    I have horror film host Svengoolie to thank for introducing me to The Uninvited. This is the second time he has shown it that I am aware of, and it is a fine film to watch, although he has edited it down some in order to fit the film in his time slot. Darn. I am seriously considering picking it up on DVD just so I can see the unedited full version.

    Thanks for stopping by.
