The Invitation - Karyn Kusama
Mystery/Thriller - NR - 2016
Following an invitation to his old home for a dinner party, Will begins to suspect something is seriously wrong with his ex-wife and her lover. As he continues to notice things that slip by his fellow guests - he begins to question his own sanity. He alienates himself from old friends while trying to come to terms with the past.Don’t want to go into too much detail without giving things away - but if you enjoy psych-thrillers, this one will hold you in its grasp as you continue to question what’s really going on.
The Invitation is a slow-burning, consistently unsettling vibe. Is something truly awry or is Will an unreliable protagonist? Beautifully paced, the film transcends from happiness to hell in a matter of minutes. John Carrol Lynch is hella creepy, too.
