The final shot really puts this traditionally handled thriller up a notch, mainly because it implies that the pain of these characters is universal and that our new age remedies could become dangerous.

A quite excellent Marshall-Green carries the film which is very nicely shot. The last act was pretty weak, however, but I was engaged and ready to sing the movie's praises up until then, so I will definitely be seeking out whatever Kusama makes next.

The Invitation has a few great ideas, but doesn't have the courage to fully explore them. Instead, we're left with something entirely predictable. Thankfully, it's executed really well.

A nifty little slow-burn thriller that uses the dinner party conversation setting well. Everybody is just slightly messed up in some uncomfortably awkward ways, creating this sticky sense of uneasiness which you won't be able to wash yourself clean of until the 3rd act when all shit breaks loose. Recommended for viewing with friends you want to kill.

I appreciated how well the themes were fleshed out (loss, grief, mercy killing, etc), but it ultimately didn't do enough to surprise me. I grew anxious to know what the big mystery was, but looking back on it it was all pretty run of the mill and, dare I say, predictable. The build up grew tiresome, especially during the second act when things really dragged. I liked the last shot, but the overall payoff didn't justify the impatience I felt throughout.

It wasn't hard to guess what the main reveal would be, but the road up to that point was pretty effective. I guess I enjoy that feeling of something-seems-wrong-ness, in this case strengthened by moody lighting, camera angles, a creepy location and an effective cast. Once the thrills are over, a sense of 'so I guess that was it' is hard to avoid, but a feeling of unease has stuck with me since my viewing and that's worth something too. [Slowly turns into paranoid hermit]

A group of friends reunite after a few years for a dinner party, but it's no party any of them are expecting. Logan Marshall-Green was excellent in the role. The suspense was terrific and it did a good job of keeping you guessing until the end. A quality production with excellent music. Slow but good pacing. The ending was not handled nearly as well as the build up to it, missing many opportunities to be better. The final scenes was a nice touch.

It suffers some shoddy acting, and some questionable plotting up to its second act, but the quality of the filmmaking here is something to admire. Every camera angle works to stir the film's cauldron of dread; every nervous glance is made to gleam like a knife edge. The payoff, while not at all what I expected, left me feeling wrung out in that good way that only some thrillers can.

A group of friends are invited to a dinner; on the surface all seems amiable, but the ex-husband (Logan Marshall-Green) of the hostess (Tammy Blanchard) is suspicious of her intentions, and the events of the evening only deepen his paranoia. Some self-conscious writing and acting and a mildly weak resolution aside, this is a potent thriller, genuinely suspenseful and elevated by Kusama's precise direction and editing.

Builds some nice tension and uncertainty throughout, and the cast do a decent job even if the script makes it seem a bit "improv" at times. The final segment and ending were alright in the grand scheme of things, but resulted in some minor eye-rolling on my behalf. This felt well-handled even if it felt like it could be sharpened up at points - Kusama definitely has skill. Interesting. Doesn't Tammy Blanchard look like Michelle Monaghan?

Excellent creepy ambiguous buildup that unfortunately leaves itself nowhere to go once they have to pull back the curtain and show who's crazy and who's just paranoid. But good performances by Marshall-Green and Huisman, and California designer homes haven't looked this creepy in a long time.

apart from the little cat and mouse mindgame that kusama sends you on, the first and second act are a real pain in the proverbial ass. that is why i aborted early on first try with a buddy, you definitely need to be in "wait for it"-mode to get through. what follows is an improvement, but hardly worth the wait, because let's be honest: it all played out in underwhelming and foreseeable fashion, even the "praised" final scene, which made no sense by the way.

I'd probably cancel the RSVP on this. The party may have gone pretty badly, but the movie itself is great. I thought it had an excellent slow-burn leading up to a pretty bat-crazy experience at the conclusion. I also loved its use of foreshadowing, which is even better than jump scares in these types of films. All the acting was really good, but the leading man took the cake. I liked his stoic attitude and his genre-saavyness...

For those that have seen The Gift, expect a similar movie here. A lot of misdirection and wondering of what exactly is going on. The lead role does very well in making the viewer wonder whether or not he is paranoid. This is labeled as a horror, but remember that horror can be a feeling of unease. This movie definitely gives you that feeling. Now whether or not that unease is justified is something you'd have to see for yourself.

Does a decent job of keeping up the mystery and intrigue throughout the film, and Logan Marshall-Green is pretty great in his lead role, but there were a few plot points that were a little uneven. It also ultimately descends into a fairly typical ending, which is a little disappointing given the build up. Worth a watch but nothing to write home about.

Is Logan Marshal-Green the prince of great low budget genre movies? With this and Upgrade, I think he has a good claim. Everything here comes together for a really effective pot of boiling tension. The acting and dialogue feels natural (until it explicitly doesn't) and narrative twists are well placed. I was always guessing and second-guessing the validity of the protagonist and by extension, myself. Not sure how I feel about the ending shot, felt a little "written" unlike the rest of the movie.

(SPOILER ALERT) a lesser version of THE GIFT right down to the political allegory; here the stereotypical progressives (the diversity, liberal attitudes to sex/drugs, driving a hybrid, euthanasia etc) fail to reject the obvs insane conservatives (religious fanatics who bang on about 'family', with locks on their doors and guns in their home) due to their obnoxious levels of tolerance/politeness, with fatal consequences, and a twist that suggests GUYS WAKE UP THIS IS HAPPENING ALL ACROSS AMERICA!

Very nicely directed--tense, atmospheric, and claustrophobic. And Marshall-Green is a stand out. Other than the very last, none of the surprises were really surprises, though. And that very last reveal was nice, but also feels noticeably more implausible than the whole movie leading up to that point.

A film that builds and builds and builds suspense and tension but wastes it on cheesy misdirection. Would have been much better as a shorter film. There is also a bit of miscasting here since Michiel Huisman just screams Game of Thrones merc dude the entire time. A lot of the script comes across an acting improv set with Hollywood C-listers. The film itself has its moments but it follows a well worn path to get there.

Hits notes familiar to films like 'Compliance' and 'The Celebration' in that its unrelenting sense of suspense is drawn from oppressively uncomfortable situations. As successful as it is in that respect, the movie retains the flatness of similar thrillers with thin characters, stilted dialogue, and the tendency to undermine its own muddled message throughout the film. An interesting ensemble study with a generic sinister cult backdrop that succeeds on the basis of its nerve-wracking tension.

Viewed April 26, 2016. Merely about building up to a foregone conclusion in a frustratingly uninteresting manner. Yes, it's jarring and gruesome, but it's never actually suspenseful. There's no push-and-pull. The loud noises, the rack focuses, the heavy-handed flashbacks, Logan Marshall-Greene's torturous brooding, the overwhelming sense of misanthropy - these things only give the illusion of suspense. It's more of a sound effect than an actual movie. I really don't want to grow up.

Layered, creepy, joltingly original. I won't say anything else about this insidiously constructed, crackerjack horror chamber piece for fear of ruining it--I didn't know a thing about it prior to going in, and trust me, it works like gangbusters that way. Don't miss it, but fair warning: you won't be in too perky of a mood afterwards.

There's a lot of build-up, but I didn't think the big reveal really justified it and it was all a little anti-climactic in the end. I did really like the very final shot though. It was directed competently, and it looked and sounded fine. But I don't know, the characters didn't really work for me. Part of that was the performances, of which a few weren't very believable. It seemed to have a lot of the right elements for a movie I'd enjoy, but it didn't come together.

The acting is hit-or-miss throughout and the pacing of the dialogue really does not sell these characters as real people. It's just sub-par writing. There are several moments where character reactions do not match the tone of the scene or the situation at hand, which can often break the tension in unintended ways. That being said, it does still manage to build tension just enough to keep you watching. Overall, it's worth a watch, even if it's ultimately underwhelming.

The premise for this one makes it appear as a simple relationship drama, but the hints of something sinister lurking beneath become evident. It suits the purpose of the movie well to have one character doubting everything and pointing out everything weird about the situation because it seems reasonable and it involves a lot of the questions the viewer will be asking. In the end, it's just a little bit too slow. The idea is great, but the script doesn't quite make it compelling enough.

People say it's a slow burner, almost justifyingly, as if to convince you to stay with it, because it will get good later on. But this movie proved to me that that is exactly how I like a suspenseful flick to be. Go into this blind.

The first half of the movie is very slow-paced, almost too slow for my personal taste. You know from the start that something is very wrong but you can't quite place your finger on it. Still, all this mystery didn't quite pull me in the way it should have and I didn't care enough for the characters to really be interested in their fates. Imo, the last 20 minutes are the only exciting and intriguing part of the story and the ending has quite an impact nonetheless.

Surprisingly good and can we just appreciate how great is Logan Marshall-Green as a lead? Fuck yes!

This is tense as fuuuuck and keeps you on your toes wondering what's going on right to the crux of things. I'd advise going to to this cold,only the IMDb synopsis is needed

Couldn't get into it due to the plot being a slow burn around characters that I felt no connexion with. Not a single character felt sympathetic or even just interesting to me. And the movie was pretty much one hour of the characters interacting in a closed area, followed by a quickfire resolution of a weak intrigue. Giving this movie a few points for looking visually okay and having a pretty good sound design, but without that I'd have given it a flat 0.

A film that is so bad that I couldn't figure out what people liked about it, then the last shot of the film happened and that was when I realized that the ending was so perfect that people convinced themselves that the film that preceded it had to be great. This is a terrible film that doesn't deserve the ending it gets.

the most interesting parts are when it doesnt go the way youve been expecting it to go since the beginning.... but then it does anyway? great psyhological movie turns into a pretty good last man standing horror. its the journey not the destination tho i guess

The suspense was built by cheapest ways possible, such as putting a high-pitch squeak or white noise instead of the soundtrack or blurring every third shot. No offense, it may be cheap, but effective. The real flaws still exist, however. The first is awful pacing; nothing happens there for about an hour unless suspense itself. The second is the movie's main idea, which has been formulated by finishing off a dying coyote in one of the first scenes, and never was expanded further.

as a big fan of cringe/nervous/etc content, i thoroughly enjoyed the invitation. kusama excels at developing horribly tense moments from the mundane social nuance we all encounter. engaging in all counts, delightfully unsettling.

I'm a huge sucker for slightly absurd 'Twilight Zone' premises, slowly mounting tension, and cult horror (in both senses of the phrase), so this was a very pleasant surprise for me. That said, it's difficult to imagine the film working as well on a second viewing (or if hadn't gone in blind).

The slow burn is effective and the payoff is satisfying, but I can't help but wonder how much better this film would be if a little more logic had entered these characters' heads apart from Marshall-Green's. Maybe it hurts that we don't delve too deeply into these people. The film keeps toying with grief and coping, but only a handful of this group actually appears to have experience with this theme.
