At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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 scarier and a 6, or a "good" movie for me...

I thought this was going to be interesting with deep meaning or some mysterious twists, but it has no story line and is extremely shallow. The movie has an increasing amount of jump scares and flashbacks, to only end with a ridiculous conclusion. Would never recommend to anyone.

Its a nice-dinner-party-turned-weird kinda thriller film that takes place in the same house. I like it when the actors are relatively unknown in these types of movies so i can focus on the film better. There was one actress that was pretty bad but overall the acting was decent. There wasnt any very stupid or obnoxious characters that pisses you off which is very common for some reason. It builds up nicely, keeps you curious till the end. I cant say i loved the ending. Guy and his girlfriend are invited to dinner by his ex-wife and her new husband(or bf) along with some other friends. But the host couple have some other intentions besides a nice party.

Look no further than The Invitation if you're looking for a suspenseful, brain teaser, just don't expect anything spectacular. The Invitation's storyline wanders in different directions and with some ambiguous dialogue and overuse of flashbacks, the movie makes for a tangled plot leaving the viewer frequently guessing on the next scenes. The writers did a decent job at deception, throwing curve balls on what may happen with the ending. Also, more importantly the writers created just enough foreshadowing throughout the film that one could possibly guess how the film ends. The Invitation is a reputable choice on Netflix, gives the viewers a chance to watch some up incoming actors and actresses as well as a couple of thrills.
