A Tale of Two Sisters. Produced by Asian horror remake king

The Uninvited tells the story of a young girl named Anna (

David Strathairn) has recently gotten engaged to Rachel (
Elizabeth Banks), her mother's former nurse. Anna's suspicions about Rachel are soon confirmed when her mother reaches out from the beyond to deliver a stark warning, prompting the young girl and her sister (
