The Invitation Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 6, 2025I think this film makes a couple missteps that prevent it from truly landing. First, I think that disguising the twist (both in marketing and in the opening of the film) could have gone a long way to making this a really good watch. Second is that this would have really benefitted from an R-rating. Instead we’re kind of left with a low scare, low surprise, middling sort of horror flick. When compared to some of the other great horror films that have come out this year though, The Invitation unfortunately pales in comparison. I was really hoping this would be a nice vehicle for Nathalie Emmanuel to potentially get more leading roles, but that’s probably not going to happen. Not a bad film overall, there’s just a lot better options out there.
- Josh CDecember 15, 2024Had no idea what type of movie this was going in, but it kept me entertained. I enjoyed it.
