The Invitation

Kusama ratchets the story’s tension masterfully, building to a final shot that’s as chilling as it is perfect.

The movie is a small marvel of contained spaces, exploited beautifully by Kusama and cinematographer Bobby Shore.

Kusama reveals and conceals the geography of the house, parceling out just enough information to understand its logic, while leaving certain dim recesses mysterious.

The buildup stretches longer than it should, but the payoff comes with a satisfying bang.

The Invitation maintains a unique intrigue that constantly defies expectations.

As the tension effectively builds and pay-off is pulled off with aplomb, The Invitation is a mostly effective small-scale thriller, despite some missteps along the way.

The filmmakers keep trying to make Will appear paranoid, but he’s not fooled for long — and most viewers won’t be, either.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but it was a masterfully tense psychological thriller. The characters were established just as much as they needed to be, and it was really nerve-wracking watching the main character's paranoia (or good sense) throughout the strange dinner party.

Pretty stale dialogues and a build up that results in a pretty formulaic end. Stylistically beautiful but the grief which is supposed to drive the end is not really present throughout the film

Look. It's directed as a "mystery movie", but its definitely not. So that's bad. But the acting from Logan Marshall-Green is awesome (or at least perfect for the character), so he carries the movie on the weakest parts. They had a chance to do something surprising entering the third act, but they used it to mantain the same flow the movie had... And the ending was predictable and just "ok" at beast. The last shot is what makes it a 6, or a "good" movie for me. Because it somehows makes it scarier.
