Synopsis:
In this taut psychological thriller by Karyn Kusama, the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green) shows up to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard) and new husband David (Michiel Huisman). The estranged divorcees' tragic past haunts an equally eerie present; amid Eden's suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda. Unfolding over one dark evening in the Hollywood Hills, 'The Invitation' blurs layers of mounting paranoia, mystery, and horror until both Will - and the audience - are unsure what threats are real or imagined.

Compelling and stylish - The Invitation review by NP

Spoiler Alert
02/10/2020

Initially, this film reminded me of a modern version of 1932’s ‘The Old Dark House’, in which a group of strangers meet up and navigate their way through an awkward evening, where every word and sentiment is laced with some cryptic double-meaning, before events take on a more horrific note.

Here, we meet Will (Logan Marshall-Green), someone so determinedly uncomfortable, it seems there aren’t enough egg-shells in the room to walk on around him. When we (and his outstandingly loyal girlfriend Kira, played by Emayatzy Corinealdi ) meet his group of friends (and his ex-wife Eden, played by Tammy Blanchard) who have organized the reunion in which the story takes place, we feel he has every reason to be so tense.

As is often the case, I enjoyed the ‘journey’ more than the ‘destination’. The finale I found too vague, although the open-ended nature of events is scary. My score for this compelling and stylish production is 7 out of 10.
