Uninvited is On The WAY!!

I received a **text**?? on my cell phone yesterday saying "The Univited" (original)  has shipped and should be here by Monday (28th). Also, (and Brian, I thought of YOU), it was 1.00 less than originally offered at; I received a 'regular' e-mail telling me that Amazon is refunding my debit card 1.00.

Patti...who is actually reeeeaaaallllyyyy hoping it comes for watching this Saturday night!!

MY "UNINVITED" ARRIVED TODAY!!! whoo

I had discovered by accident a couple of months ago that "The Uninvited" was being released on DVD by Criterion. Since Criterion is usually pricey, I double checked the price of couple of times to see if it was correct - a great buy!

Though far from a favorite movie of mine, I do enjoy the general story and many of the details.

I showed the movie tonight at my library, to a dozen attendees, mostly retired - people who were familiar with "Stella by Starlight," and know who Angela Lansbury is ... when I introduced the movie I mentioned that Angela Lansbury's mother is in the scene with the shopkeeper, among other things. Everyone greatly enjoyed the movie and actually applauded at the end! There are clever bits to the writing, one of my favorites being references to Dickens' "Bleak House" (besides the novel being mentioned, the character of "Miss Bird" is play on Dickens' "Miss Flyte."

I do wish the movie had less humor and more eeriness, scariness. It really isn't scary at all.

I watched mine too.

On Main/first screen, it lists Scenes/Chapters, Start/Play; plus there were two different radio readings? of this movie. I haven't had time to listen to these, but I will.
