Review of The Invitation (2016) by Jaime L — 31 Mar 2017
Sometimes a slow burn can work real well to build tension but this did not happen for me in The Invitation. Was boring instead. The characters did not interest me beyond Will and especially the couple who were hosting the party were trying too hard to be mysteriously creepy.
I found the whole situation to be completely contrived and when the third act comes around and the the string of tension snaps to something more, I simply could not care. Worse the final minute or so of The Invitation I found to be so absurd that I dropped the rating even further.
What was supposed to be "shocking" no doubt got a snort of derision instead.
