About an hour into 'The Invitation' I had no clue where it was going and frankly didn't care. The slow build leads to a tension so thick and in so many different forms that in the 3rd act you're sure it's going in one direction only to have the rug pulled and then pulled again. It's a brilliant premise with the finish to match.

The actors aren't great and don't have to be. If you are in that moment you need to feel the tension and uncertainty from the characters. The pace is perfect and the result is one of the better thrillers in years. Final Score 8.4/10.
