The Invitation
Directed by Karyn Kusama
Will and Eden were once a loving couple. After a tragedy took their son, Eden disappeared. Two years later, out of the blue, she returns with a new husband... and as a different person, eerily changed and eager to reunite with her ex and those she left behind. Over the course of a dinner party in the house that was once his, the haunted Will is gripped by mounting evidence that Eden and her new friends have a mysterious and terrifying agenda. But can we trust Will's hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?
A reunion of old friends turns into a nightmare when one guest, a haunted man whose ex-wife is among the hosts, begins to fear that the night is part of a terrifying agenda.
Cast: Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Michiel Husiman, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Lindsay Burdge

really enjoyed this i loved how for most of the moving you dont know if the main protagonist is crazy or right !...,great acting , dialouge , and story very worth the watch !
Modern-day classic that never fails to chill, even on repeat viewings. In fact, it demands repeat viewings.
Went into this one blind and really enjoyed it. A slow burn with a good payoff. Not really horror but definitely suspenseful.
Fantastic film - well paced, well acted, and keeps you guessing
Slow burn which I usually enjoy. But personally I found this movie deeply uncomfortable in a not fun way. 1 hour and 20 minutes of watching one person doubt their feelings and gut with me constantly saying, “JUST LEAVE!” Followed by only 20 minutes of anything actually happening. Interesting idea and honestly a cool story but bloody hell, it was 1 hour and 20 minutes of gaslighting. Not a fun way to spend an evening.
