"The Uninvited" (The Uninvited) is adapted from Korean director Kim Ji-woon's "The Rose and the Red Lotus". It is far inferior to the original in terms of beauty and horror, but it shows two different beliefs, cultures, and ethical backgrounds in the United States and Asia. Family conflict.



Directors Charles Guard and Thomas Guard continued the main line of the original work, but made slight adaptations on the branches to make it more in line with mainstream American tastes. Anna, a young girl in the flower season, reined in her erotic juncture with her lover. When she returned home, she unexpectedly found that her father and a young nurse who was caring for her seriously ill mother were going to Wushan together. The father's infidelity is not only reflected in the betrayal of his mother and family, but also in the collapse of moral values ​​for Anna. Angered, Anna wanted to burn her father and lover to death, but accidentally caused a fire that burned her mother and sister to death. Strongly stimulated, Anna was admitted to a mental hospital.

This kind of change abandons the plot of the mother committing suicide after discovering her father's adultery in the original work. The daughter and father's self-discipline and indulgence in the face of lust have caused a conflict throughout the film. hatred, thus reflecting the dilemma of forming a new family in modern society. Dissatisfaction with her stepmother's preconceived notions, her efforts to please her as a deliberate conspiracy, and a strong sense of disgust at the intercourse between her father and her stepmother, caused Anna's spiritual split.



For the responsibility for betrayal and lack of communication, Charles Guard and Thomas Guard ultimately blamed Anna's father. His greed made his ex-wife, daughter and sequel all die at the hands of the youngest daughter, and finally suffered all the bitter consequences alone. Both the plot and the character creation continue the mainstream American movies and thinking modes. For "The Rose and Red Lotus", "Uninvited" is not a two-life flower that is temporarily placed on the other side of the ocean, at best it is just an American fast food culture a simple copy of it.
