As the only horror film to date that Jeon Ji Hyun has done, the Uninvited is a rather forgettable film. While Jeon Ji Hyun looks as beautiful as ever in it and her acting is top notch, the storyline is weak and the lead male, played by Park Shin Yang, is unengaging.
Park plays an interior designer by the name of Jung Won, who is coming home one night on the underground. Right before he gets off, he sees two girls sleeping on it. He tries to wake them up, but is unsuccessful at it. He then hears on the radio the next day about two girls that were killed the previous night on the underground. Lo and behold, he sees these two girls shortly thereafter at his dinner table, which was just given to him as a gift from his fiancee.
Jung Won is working on renovating a psychiatrist's office when he bumps into a girl named Yun (played by Jeon Ji Hyun). Through a series of events, she ends up at his apartment and is able to see the two dead girls. Yun has a history herself though, hence the reason why she's going to see a psychiatrist.
As far as stories go, this one isn't anything special. In fact, as far as horror films go, while the storyline is rather convoluted, it is extremely tame. The cinematography is unusually flat and unspectacular. In fact, the one redeeming quality of this entire film is the performance put in by Jeon Ji Hyun. We at FilmQuest give this film 4 QuestMarks out of 10, which is unusually low for a film with Jeon Ji Hyun in it.
