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

Good story, good acting, kept me intrigued throughout the entire movie.
This was awesome. It was very subtle and there were a heap of amazing twists. Really outstanding.
I was not expecting that ending. I will watch this one again.
second time watching and I gotta say there's some good stuff here. there is real writing talent, once in a lifetime talent, however, the movie is just too long. not by a wide margin, it just needed to cut 10 minutes and it would've been perfect. however in the last 20 minutes when it is a straight up horror movie it is a good horror movie. the tension waver for a little to long but the release is excellent. bottom line of you like indie horror this is gold standard. Note: I would give this movie 2 1/2 but since that's not possible and I do like it I'm giving it a 3 I can hear an argument for 3 because it does get a lot right
starts off uncomfortable and keeps a steady pace, slowly rising in tension and dread until it all comes crashing down. I really appreciated the depiction of physical contact among friends and the unsettling camera work. what a ride.
