The Invitation Ratings & Reviews
- Sheila Rose2 March 2026Builds tension well and kept me engaged, but I found parts predictable. I wanted the ending to take a direction I didn’t anticipate. Even so, it was reasonably entertaining.
- ayayron5 April 2025This is why I don't attend social gatherings
- dodgyroge74@yahoo.co.uk11 January 2026A bit of a slow-burner, but nice finale. Worth a watch.
- Coouge3 August 2025What a movie! Very suspenseful from start to finish. Not boring.
- Daniel Gustavsson11 October 2024Really atmospheric movie that keeps you on the edge of the sofa for sure. It gets really creepy and unsettling at times and that's the movies strong point. The ending was weird though, but maybe I just didn't get it.
- Evan May7 October 2025If the Lewis quote “No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear” were a film.
- PatrikStar24 June 2025Good day to not have friends!
- DarlingInThePlexx5 June 2025Ever 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. 😵💫
