The Invitation

Horror Thriller


 

A woman is invited to England to meet her long-lost family after taking a DNA test. While there, she's swept off her feet by a charming man... but is he what he seems?

"The Invitation" is an ominous film dotted with jump scares. The gothic setting helps to set the mood for the mischief and intrigue afoot, all relating to our leading lady. Lavished with attention and gifts from the leading man who has a jawline that simply will not quit, the first half of the film is much more romance than horror. Unfortunately, the plotline lacks nuance, the pacing is terrible, the dialogue is cliched, the characters make odd choices and overall, everything is a bit too obvious. RSVP: No.
