In "The Uninvited," two sisters try to convince their father that his current fiancee is not who she pretends to be. Elizabeth Banks, David Strathairn, Emily Browning and Arielle Kebbel star, and here is what some online critics have to say about the horror pic:

• Collider's Brian Orndorf: "'The Uninvited' might appeal to the "Tale of Two Sisters" curious, but even then there's little reason to stay invested in what quickly becomes a grueling 80-minute-long journey into the easily telegraphed and roughly acted."

• CinemaBlend's Katey Rich: "The scares are interspersed in-between these landscape shots, but the film never achieves an actual mood of mystery, and the occasional appearance of ghosts seems more to keep the audience interested than to add to the story."

• Cinematical's Jette Kernion: "'The Uninvited' provides a few shocks and some creepy dream-or-not sequences that are perfect for a date horror movie. However, the structure and dialogue are weak without even being unabashedly cheesy fun like the 3-D remake of My Bloody Valentine."

• Ron Henriques at LatinoReview: "I don't know about you, but I thought the "J-horror" craze was over. Hollywood seems so determined to remake every supernatural horror flick from the land of the rising sun whether it be good or bad."

Kevin Smith returns to the big screen with "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," in which Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks decide to make a porno in order to get rid off their growing debt. You can read Joseph's review right here. Also, let's see what other online critics have to say about it:

• Cinematical's Scott Weinberg: "If the movie falters a few time near the finish line (with a third act that's a bit too conventional for a guy like Kevin Smith), it's a small gripe in the face of a flick that delivers lots of big, strong laughs"

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "Zack and Miri Make a Porno has the Kevin Smith vibe to it, but its conceit almost seems to get in the way of itself as this over-the-top sex comedy ramps up only to see Smith overcompensate the more risqué humor with a sticky sweet love story that gets quite sappy."
