One eving, Jung-won falls asleep on the subway on his way home. He is barely able to wake up at the last station. As he comes round, he sees two young girls asleep on the seat next to him. He cannot wake them before he has to jump off as the train leaves the station. He arrives home to find that his wife-to-be has bought them a new metal dining table.
The next day, Jung-won is working wh he hears on the radio that two young girls were found poisoned on the subway. In the course of fitting some lights in a ceiling, he is hit by falling debris and cuts his forehead. After a trip to the hospital for some stitches, he goes home to find the two dead girls seated at his new dining table.

Having be tormted by nightmares and the hallucinations, Jung-won is desperate to find out something about the apparitions that haunt him. Yeon runs away refusing to help him, so he searches through the patits' records at the clinic to find out more about her. Using the information he succeeds in persuading her to help him uncover his past. Jung-won discovers that he had killed his father and sister.
Wh Jung-won was a child, he had witnessed an accidt of a young boy, and saw him being left inside a manhole. Wh the townspeople were searching for him, he told them the boy had be left inside the manhole, leading Jung-won's father to believe that Jung-won had shamanic abilities. His father set up a shaman business, but as Jung-won couldn't properly perform, his father would beat him every day. In order to escape, Jung-won decides to die of carbon monoxide poisoning with his father, but thought to spare his younger sister by placing her in a cabinet in a differt room. A fire starts, but his younger sister is killed because she had be hidd from sight, and was not rescued in time. Rather than shaman abilities, it is his trauma and guilt that has caused him to see the childr at his kitch table. In additional flashbacks, we now see it is actually Yeon who has shamanistic abilities. She seeks that Jung-sook, has had childhood trauma that has led to Jung-sook fearing childr. She also has get flashes of people's memories and traumas that cause her to collapse frequtly. Rather than believing her, her husband and her mother-in-law grow increasingly suspicious of Yeon's erratic behavior.
Unfortunately, Jung-won suffers the consequces rediscovering his past. His fiancée Hee-eun suspects that he is having an affair and leaves him. Jung-sook found innoct of the murder of Yeon's child, but shown mtally insane, and committed to an asylum. Yeon and her husband look from afar as the police take Jung-sook away. Jung-sook suddly commits suicide as she is leaving the courthouse. Shocked, Yeon calls Jung-won who comes over to console her. He talks to her husband, Park Moon-sub (Park Won-sang), who suspects that it was his wife, not her dead frid, who killed their childr.

He is troubled after seeing two children in the train and realises later that they were the ghosts of children who were murdered by their mother. He also has visions of two children who appear at his dining room table. He gives Yun Jung a ride home from his father’s church only for her to collapse from narcolepsy near his apartment. He takes her inside to recover. As her husband comes to collect her, she comments that he should put the children to bed. Realising that she can see the ghosts too, he begs her for help. She is unwilling but a friendship gradually grows between them. She has an ability to help him remember the first seven years of his life that are a blank to him and doing so starts to uncover the horrors he has blanked out. At the same time, he becomes aware of the horror in Yun Jung’s past where she was witness to her mentally ill neighbour dropping two children from the balcony of the apartment above her.
South Korean cinema has become a force to be reckoned with in the last decade. South Korean horror cinema has taken off during this period with many hits jumping aboard and often blatantly imitating the fad for J-horror popularised by the success of the Japanese Ring (1998). These have included often striking efforts like their own version of Ring with The Ring Virus (1999), Nightmare (2000), Into the Mirror (2003), Phone (2003), A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), Dead Friend/The Ghost (2004), Face (2005), The Red Shoes (2005), Cinderella (2006) and White (2011), along with the big international hit of Train to Busan (2016), while Park Chan-wook had huge breakthrough hits in the West with Oldboy (2003) and Thirst (2009).

The Uninvited – not related or to be confused with the classic ghost story The Uninvited (1944) or any of the dozen or so other horror films with the same title, including The Uninvited (2009), the English-language remake of A Tale of Two Sisters – is a Korean horror film that takes obvious influence from Ring. It clearly construes itself to be some type of epic of the Asian horror genre, with a plot that stretches out over the two-hour mark. It is a beautifully made film with some lovely cinematography that adds much to the mood that director Su Yeon-Lee creates.
It is just that on another level, The Uninvited drags. This is a film that would be well serviced by a US remake, which would undoubtedly tighten the plot considerably and eliminate the vague and unclear aspects (while probably pumping it up with a number of gratuitous shocks). For quite some time in, nothing much happens. The film is slow going and hard to work out where everything is leading. Much of the first 40 minutes follows Shin-Yang Park’s interior designer. Then comes the introduction of Ji-Hyun Jun’s character where we expect her to emerge as something akin to the lead character in The Eye (2002). However, that never happens and we are never sure how she can see the dead children as the film doglegs off to explore the issues of her trauma over witnessing a neighbour dropping two children from the balcony.
Equally, hero Shin-Yang Park sees two children on a train and there is a news report about them being murdered by their mother and we expect this to be an element that features later in the film but it is not ever mentioned again. We are never certain if these are the same two children that keep appearing at his dinner table, as this phenomenon is never given an explanation.
The Uninvited (movie, 2003)
The story has the two characters coming together – the relationship is well developed, if one that takes a long time to get there – where she helps him come to terms with his blanked-out memory. However, it is part of the film’s frustrating vagueness that even though we do receive flashbacks to the past, it is still not clear what happened or why Shin-Yang Park blanked out his memory of it.
There is some style to Su Yeon-Lee’s direction and he does create an undeniable atmosphere
