    Haunting mysteries on the coast of Maine with Emily Browning and Elizabeth Banks

    After her mother dies in a tragedy, a teen girl (Emily Browning) is sent to a mental hospital. Upon returning to her fathers mansion on the coast of Maine, she reunites with her older sister (Arielle Kebbel) and tries to get along with her dads new girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks), her mothers former nurse, who appears to be taking over.

    The Uninvited (2009) is a mystery/horror that combines elements of The Sixth Sense (1999), Half Light (2006) and The Ring (2002), although its a little more subdued than the latter. If you like the haunting tone of those movies and the spectacular locations of the ...

    Hmmm. There isn't really much worth saying about this truly mediocre horror effort. "Anna" (Emily Browning) is having a torrid time after her mother died in a fire. Having tried suicide, she is placed in an institution from where, after ten long months, she is released back into the care of her father. "Steven" (David Strathairn) is pretty ill-equipped to deal with this young woman, and things are not helped by the fact that in the intervening months, he has married her late mum's former nurse "Rachel" (Elizabeth Banks). It's fair to say that this new step-mother/daughter relationship isn't a rip-roaring success, and after a while "Anna" and her sister "Alex" (Arielle Kebbel) begin to suspect that perhaps their mother's death may not have b...
