1) It was all a dream!
2) Every strange thing that's happening to me can be conveniently explained by the fact that I'm totally crazy!
3) Someone I thought was alive has been dead the whole time!
One of these cliches is usually enough to derail a horror flick. "The Uninvited" uses all three, sometimes in concert. The acrobatics fail to make the film scary or even noisy.
Anna's (Emily Browning--Violet from the "Lemony Snicket" film) insanity can't retroactively correct the pace of "The Uninvited." Convinced that her new aunt (Elizabeth Banks, for real) is homicidal, Anna discusses what to do with her sister and a local boy. For the first hour of the already short film, these conversations abruptly end with promises to meet or investigate later. Why not just continue the conversation now? Crazy!
