nagomiJun 2, 2024Convinced the haters of this movie have irreversible damage to their attention spans. The tension! The bad acting! The ending! You can never make me hate this movie. Podcast- House of Horrors: The Invitation
Joe AApr 8, 2016"... That was mercy." The destructive, wavelike nature of grief as a communal experience that permeates every space we occupy, every movement we make & every interaction we have. Kusama's formal grace is the obvious star here, the skillful staging and spatial awareness…

There's something off with the hosts, yes, but also with the whole movie.

- Morgan likedThe Invitation
i wasn’t really impressed at the beginning and it started off really slow but it surprised me with some of the twists and turns, it wasn’t bad not the most original or most life changing movie ever but it was alright, eden was a baddie lowkey
Got Grogu is "meh" onThe InvitationThis movie took forever to get going. In fact, it didn’t get interesting until the last 15 minutes. Also, the film had terrible lighting.
Tiger Z is "meh" onThe InvitationConfusing at times. Very boring and slow moving. Not terrible. The psychological elements were the best part of the movie.
- Allie M lovedThe Invitation
Go in knowing nothing for this one! The dread piles up and up and sticks a perfect landing after a tense climax. Not heavy on the gore or scares, as it tilts more towards disturbing thriller. Might make you hesitate before accepting your next dinner invite.
Sabrina Bondi likedThe InvitationThe Invitation is a tense and uncomfortable film, but being grounded in our main character’s perspective gives us a stake in each awkward event that unfolds. It is a vivid exploration of grief with a conclusion satisfying enough to justify the discomfort.
Xanna is "meh" onThe InvitationHonestly… just a bit dull. You knew what was gonna happen, which is ok if they execute it well. Just felt like they were going through the motions of what they think a thriller movie should be like.
- Jacob Hall lovedThe Invitation
one of the best independent films of the 2010s. the twist at the very last scene is still blowing my mind minutes after the movie ended. amazing movie 9/10
Bex lovedThe Invitationthere's a twist to it and though you will wonder what weird thing is going on throughout the movie, it is still exciting and shocking and creepy
Kenny is "meh" onThe InvitationVery very very slow pace didn’t pick up til the last 15 minutes and it was not worth the wait for me, the twist was predictable

Psychological thrillers just don’t get any better than this.

The movie is a small marvel of contained spaces, exploited beautifully by Kusama and cinematographer Bobby Shore.

Kusama’s handling of point of view is diabolically shrewd. She maximizes the terror potential of the vapidly ostentatious modernist mansion without fetishizing it. She intensifies the monstrosity of some of the characters by making them all too human. And as for guessing the ending — good luck.
