Hey guys! Horrorella here...
If you see only one film this spring, make it THE INVITATION. Trust me on this one. Karyn Kusama's latest is beyond suspensful and brilliantly shot - one that you won't likely forget or recover from any time soon.
The film takes place during a single evening at a dinner party reuniting old friends. Will (Logan Marshall-Green) thinks that their hosts have ulterior motives in bringing the group together and the story slowly builds to a mind-shattering crescendo as the events of the evening play out.
In this taut psychological thriller by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Jennifer's Body), the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green, Prometheus) shows up to his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard, Into the Woods) and new husband, David's (Michiel Huisman, "Game of Thrones") dinner party. The pair's tragic past haunts an equally spooky 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.
A series of character posters have been released (via The Playlist), that set the tone nicely. Be sure to check out THE INVITATION when it hits theaters and VOD on April 8th.
