The Invitation
The Invitation
Will and his new girlfriend Kira are invited to a dinner with old friends at the house of Will’s ex Eden and her new partner David. Although the evening appears to be relaxed, Will soon gets a creeping suspicion that their charming host David is up to something.

Ever wonder if you’re just being paranoid—or if everyone around you is actually insane and you’re about to die over hors d’oeuvres? Welcome to The Invitation. 🧠🍷🪦
This movie is like sitting in a sauna with your ex and her suspiciously cheerful new friends while you slowly realize you’re either spiraling… or something very wrong is happening. And the best part? You genuinely can’t tell which. It’s giving:
🥵 Gaslight
🥶 Gatekeep
🥴 Grief Spiral
From the slow-burn tension to the stomach-drop moments, it boils your brain like a frog in warm water—until you’re screaming into your wine glass. It’s creepy, culty, claustrophobic, and uncomfortably real. You’ll be asking yourself “is it me?” the entire time. (Spoiler: it’s not. But also… is it?)
Highly recommended if you love that suffocating anxiety with a twist of trauma kind of cinema. Just… maybe don’t RSVP to any dinner parties after. 😵💫
