The Invitation (2015)
Directed by Karyn Kusama
4.2/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"100 minQuick Hit
The Invitation plays like a head-trip horror piece—tense, social, with enough style to make the damage look beautiful.
Full Take
The Invitation leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Karyn Kusama keeps the tone tense without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
Not perfect but had some solid moments.
solid 👍

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
