About The Uninvited: A Welcome Guest
Ji-hoon became a wanted man because of betrayal by one of his colleagues. To avoid being arrested by police, he sneaks into a stranger’s house one day. However, what was happening in the house was that wife walks in on her husband having an affair with another woman? Under the absurd situation, Ji-hoo captures them all as his hostage. The hostage captor has become a welcome guest for the wife, Eun-joo. Eun-joo has dropped by her house to take a short break while holding a funeral. However, she finds two unwelcome guests in the house. One is her friend, who is having an affair with the husband. The other one is the hostage captor, a stranger, whom Eun-joo has never seen before. Nonetheless, the hostage captor is on Eun-joo’s side now, who has no one to lean on.
Directed by Choi Hyeong-ryul, The Uninvited: A Welcome Guest leans on a strong ensemble — Jung Gyu-woon, Shim Eun-jin, Suh Zi-eun — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2016.
