Meer oor hierdie fliek

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.

Wowerz! Gr8 story! Only thing I have to say is that the acting of the african american lady who plays the main characters wife could have been a little more over the top! She tried but she just didnt seem to reach the same level of intensity as him, gr8 watch though 👍.

This movie does not start to get interesting until maybe about 1 hour 15 minutes in and the movie overall is only 1 hour 40 minutes. So you get maybe 25 minutes of interesting. It dragged and dragged and dragged. The ending has a twist but you end up figuring it out before it even revealed the twist. I would not pay to see this, not worth it. If you can get it for free, then yea, watch it, why not.

Psychological thriller? Not so much as a sure cure for insomnia . I tried to get through it. I tried to rationalize all the intellectual hype. I finally just gave up and fell asleep .
