"The Uninvited Guest" is a psychological horror about a man letting a stranger into his house to make an urgent phone call in the middle of the night. While the man of the house patiently waiting -in the kitchen- for the stranger to finish his call, the stranger suddenly disappears! but the man believes that the stranger is still in the house. Unable to differentiate between what is true and what is not, the man starts hearing strange noises and acting crazy. Did the stranger let himself out after he finished the phone call? Or is he really hiding in the house? Is the man of the house going insane? Or are these hallucinations true?It's definitely one of the best films I've seen from the last decade. The plot is intriguing, The acting is superb and the directing is brilliant. It is a very clever film and it will deceive you in almost every scene. If you like this kind of psychological horrors/thrillers, you will love this one!
Absurd story where a man thinks there may be an intruder living in his house. An attempt is made for a surreal feel in the movie but it just winds up being dumb and dull. We are supposed to be interested in questions like - is the man imagining this scenario and maybe going crazy, or is there really an intruder? But it fails to be involving with cardboard characters and a slow pace where nothing really happens and the answer is who cares what is really going on. The asinine twist that takes place in the middle of the film causes it to truly go off the deep end. It's not scary in any way, despite what the title may sound like, and not a thriller either. Hard to put this in a genre except to call it mediocre and a bad imitation of a David Lynch film. Everything seems forced with fake tension and unfunny attempts at comedy. I should have given this movie a wide berth.
In his first feature-length effort, writer/director Guillem Morales has a winner. I almost thought I was watching a Hitchcock thriller brought up to date.Is Felix (Andoni Gracia) crazy? Is it just some aftereffects from losing his sweetheart (Mónica López)? He is definitely hearing things; or he thinks he is, but no one else can find anyone.No problem, he gets a gun and just starts blasting away, sure that he has hit his target. he locks him in the house and breaks into the next door neighbor's house, where a woman in a wheelchair is living.He is quite comfortable using her house and she is clueless as to his presence.The he starts seeing shadows move about her house. maybe he is crazy! The shadows are not what he thinks and he resumes his place only to discover the woman's husband and his big mistake.Spooky, funny, sad, creepy, and the ending is a winner!!!!
May not contain spoiler but I don't want to take chances. This movie makes absolutely no sense as nearly as I can tell, and I would like someone to explain it to me. Characters come and go with no introduction and it's never clear what's going on. Of course, the protagonist never knows what's going on either, which may well be the whole point of this flick. It's all just a bit too minimalist for me, an old man with a sense of literary orderliness that comes from having read and studied writing from the 1930's and 1940's with the more rigidly stylized plot and character development characteristic of that era. But I like to branch out in ways of art and not close my mind to new ways of doing things. Still, the film makes no sense to me.
