Just caught this over in Coming Soon:

Spout:

The Uninvited -- Watch the trailer. A girl's mother returns from the dead to warn her about her father's new fiancee. The father is played by the excellent David Strathairn (Good Night and Good Luck, Bourne Ultimatum); his creepy new fiancee (who was nurse to his late wife) is played by the lovely Elizabeth Banks.

It's a remake of the Korean horror flick Tale of Two Sisters. Has anyone seen it? (Here's the trailer.) It looks like the rare movie where the remake could be better than the original.

Good to know you liked the original... hopefully the American version lives up to the Japanese (though it rarely does). I am hopeful though since The Ring, although not as good as Ringu, was still pretty darn good IMHO.

Thanks Seely, I had heard it was a remake of a J-Horror movie, but I wasn't sure which one from watching the previews. I really liked the Japenese version of a Tale of Two Sisters. Although it was pretty sad at times but I did like the ending. I had not heard anything about it yet but it does look pretty good. I will probably wait until it comes out on DVD. If anyone sees it please let me know if it is worth going to the Theater or to just wait to see it.

Just saw that The Uninvited is coming out soon. I guess this is another adaptation by the people who brought Ringu over as The Ring, so I am a bit curious to see this as I still have PRTSS (post Ring traumatic stress syndrome). It was originally based on the hit Japanese film A Tale of Two Sisters (and was to be released in the US under the same title, but was changed last minute). The preview really looks genuinely creepy, and coming from a Japanese film I'm pretty sure it won't disappoint, given the Japanese track record for ultra-creepy movies.

Has anyone heard anything about this one?
