It takes a very (very) long time for things to get moving, and once the twist is revealed (which the trailers already did), the film isn’t as campy or scary as it needed to be. A few redeeming qualities, but overall just a sluggish experience.

A struggling artist, played by Nathalie Emmanuel, takes a DNA test that was stolen from a party by her racist black friend. To her surprise, she has rich relatives in England and flies out to meet them.
After 80 minutes of white peopleA struggling artist, played by Nathalie Emmanuel, takes a DNA test that was stolen from a party by her racist black friend. To her surprise, she has rich relatives in England and flies out to meet them.
After 80 minutes of white people bashing and the main character accidentally breaking things, you find out it's a family of vampires, which is in the movie's trailer.
The last 4 minutes of this movie contains all of the action, where the main character tips over a candle and there's some shoving. It's like bad soap opera fighting.
I'm not sure who this movie is for, but it sucks more than blood.… Expand

The Invitation is a below average movie with substantial pacing and tonal issues that drag down any chance the film has of being a decent horror movie. There is not much else to say besides that. Perhaps watch the film in the future if itThe Invitation is a below average movie with substantial pacing and tonal issues that drag down any chance the film has of being a decent horror movie. There is not much else to say besides that. Perhaps watch the film in the future if it becomes free on streaming or cable. It is not the worst movie ever, but it is certainly not good.… Expand

I won't actually scorn its mix of intentions and topics, but that's only part of a whole that is badly crippled by how little it can defend itself in the horror arena and how irrelevant its dialogue is in its attempt to cram in plotI won't actually scorn its mix of intentions and topics, but that's only part of a whole that is badly crippled by how little it can defend itself in the horror arena and how irrelevant its dialogue is in its attempt to cram in plot conventions with which it does absolutely nothing.

The craftsmanship is more than decent, but that's really only a minuscule part of the atmosphere that the rest of its elements can't create, much less sustain.

This was very underwhelming.… Expand

One of the most boring movies in recent memory. Wooden characters, ridiculous dialogue and terrible terrible pacing.

Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Lots of set up with no payoff, awful pacing, terrible dialogue. Awfully shot with no scares, trite tropes, and some brutally cringey moments in the third act.

I hate to sound like harry styles here but this does not feel like a movie more so something you would find on HBOMAX on your downtime to watch because you finished everything on your HBOMAX watch list. The only reason why I continued on is to see more of Thomas Doherty's lovely face to be painfully honest.… Expand

This was one of the worst movies I've been to. For people who are fans of horror/thrillers, you're going to be grossly disappointed. For about 75 mins out of this 106 min film -- nothing happens. ZERO. It plays like a stupid drama you wouldThis was one of the worst movies I've been to. For people who are fans of horror/thrillers, you're going to be grossly disappointed. For about 75 mins out of this 106 min film -- nothing happens. ZERO. It plays like a stupid drama you would see on the Peacock Network. The action and thrills which are cliche - again, only happen the last 20 mins of the movie. Skip this one at the theatre, VOD and change the channel even if it's free.… Expand

This was a delight to watch, and I really enjoyed the premise up until the end. The very last scene was a bit of a takeaway after the heroine kicks total butt!

The very last scene was a bit of a takeaway after the heroine kicks total butt! I personally would have been happy with the final bout between her and the villain rather than the extra scene added before credits, but other than that the movie was a fun and thrilling ride!

There was a lot of mystery set to the stage and it seemed almost like a haunting type story at first, but the changes toward a familial legacy that are quite sinister soon becomes apparent!… Expand

The Invitation is a very bland, painfully long movie with a plot that offers next to nothing until a last-minute twist, which does nothing but makes you wish you had turned this off well in advance to avoid wasting any more of your time on it.
