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

Another clear case of a film's trailer almost completely tanking its watchability.

In portraying the "Crimson Peak" meets "Ready Or Not" angle on a little too thick, "The Invitation's" marketing ultimately forces its biggest twist out into the light of day. Turns out that the twist in question occurs a little bit later in the film than you would think, rendering the first half into this glacial slog towards an obligatory moment we already know is coming. Even with the poor marketing notwithstanding, this still feels like YA-fiction-inspired tedium to me. From the hackneyed romance, to the tropey characters and predictability — this is all far from ideal entertainment to me. At least the third act has the decency to be occasionally hilarious. Some of the principal cast is actually really trying here, which is to be commended. Other than that, though, I really, really cannot recommend a watch.… Expand

The Invitation was a fun and entertaining movie though for a horror thriller movie with romance undertones there wasn't anything really scary and little romance; I will praise them for there attempt at social commentary on race, class, andThe Invitation was a fun and entertaining movie though for a horror thriller movie with romance undertones there wasn't anything really scary and little romance; I will praise them for there attempt at social commentary on race, class, and social status but it just ended up feeling like an after thought that was mostly breezed over. Nathalie Emmanuel was the saving grace of the movie giving a excellent performance. Overall just good fun movie.… Expand

Horror movie of 2022. The shortest comment for the movie might be Muslum Gurses' song "How it started, look how it ended". The subject is already familiar. There is an orphaned and poor girl. This girl sends blood to a gene and relativesHorror movie of 2022. The shortest comment for the movie might be Muslum Gurses' song "How it started, look how it ended". The subject is already familiar. There is an orphaned and poor girl. This girl sends blood to a gene and relatives center and finds that she has very wealthy relatives in England. One of these people invites the girl to a wedding at the castle in England. Well, men are not normal.

Although the movie is really a familiar theme, it starts and progresses well. It arouses curiosity. But towards the end it takes flight and turns into disappointment in my opinion. I find the IMDB rating high.

There are no nudity or sexually explicit scenes in the movie.… Expand

Little disappointing. I liked the setup and was invested in for a while. The movie is a very very slow burn but I am okay with that, but the time the "big reveal" happens the movie is practically over. Unfortunately that reveal was spoiled inLittle disappointing. I liked the setup and was invested in for a while. The movie is a very very slow burn but I am okay with that, but the time the "big reveal" happens the movie is practically over. Unfortunately that reveal was spoiled in the trailer and it didn't get enough time to savor. Overall the performances were fine, story was fine, and just in general it's just the definition of average.… Expand
