The Uninvited is a 2008 American horror thriller film directed and written by Bob Badway and produced by Michael Emanuel, Jasper Jan and Jim Stoddard. The film stars Marguerite Moreau, Brittany Curran and Colin Hay.
Plot
A young, phobic woman, Lee Ferris (Marguerite Moreau), lives in a remote house with her husband, Nick Ferris (Colin Hay), a filmmaker who produces an award-winning documentary, Living in Fear, on her past battle with a bizarre spatial phobia, which she developed in her youth and underwent remedial psychotherapy from her psychiatrist, Dr. Schulman (Donna W. Scott), helping her to cure her condition that eventually relapses. Although the couple faces financial woes, and Lee has trouble finding a job, Nick pays his ex-production assistant, Helena (Brittany Curran), for her services. He then goes out for one whole day to perform a "job" he vows will change him and his wife’s lives, leaving one of his newest projects to record onto a DVD, while Lee rests.
The house soon becomes haunted by supernatural forces, as Lee is tormented by nightmares and learns that thirty years ago, a group of seven people inexplicably died in the house she lives, though Nick withheld this info from her upon moving in. She also discovers Nick's new project explores the spiritual world after watching the recorded video he left behind. She contacts her friend, Trina (Jillian Bach), who helps her over the phone to deal with her fear and panic attacks as it worsens. Using techniques Dr. Schulman taught her, Lee stays close to walls and surfaces, only moving around in vacant space with her eyes closed.
Later at night, a thunderstorm commences, and Lee sees a man, Helmut (Zia Harris), in her driveway who is struck by lightning. He supernaturally revives as a zombie ghost just as Lee blindly runs out of the house in fright, but Helmut pursues her and takes her back into the house before she locks him out. Lee finds a bag enclosed with bloodstained sheets in the basement. Helena breaks into the house armed with a gun, revealing it’s hers. She tells Lee the truth that Nick hid from her, admitting she was suicidal and needy for cash, so in desperation, she made a deal to hand over the care of her baby to Nick, both for money and also to prevent children’s aid from taking her baby.
Wanting her baby back, Helena awaits Nick's arrival. Helmut breaks in and Helena shoots him, though she becomes mortally injured and pleads with Lee to save her baby before she dies. Eventually, Lee becomes a psychological survivalist, overcoming her deepest fears. During the search for the baby, it's revealed the baby was left in the house. Nick concedes to Lee he is working for certain "forces" and plans to offer the baby up for a sacrificial ritual to be performed in their haunted house in exchange for money to fix their financial problems. Lee is against it and prepares to shoot him with the gun, but Nick threatens to harm to child. Possessed by an evil ghost, Helmut appears and kills his associate Nick to take the baby, however, Lee shoots him. The next day, Lee departs the house with the baby, leaving the spirits behind to inhabit it. As she is walking down a road, zombie Helena watches her child being carried away.
