Review of The Invitation (2022) by Meydianarizki21 — 29 Apr 2023
Had the potential to be epic.
The Invitation tells the story of Evie(Nathalie Emmanuel). Evie finds herself in the midst of a perfect fairytale. However, she realizes that there is something sinister, underneath the squeaky clean surface.
The Invitation is a great film. Director Jessica M. Thompson has given us a unique movie in the horror genre. It starts off a tad bit slow but, the movie picks up in the second half. The jump scares might work for someone who hasn't watched a single horror film. The plot is quite predictable but, the climax is bonkers and no one can guess what's going to happen next. The performances are the highlight of the movie. Nathalie Emmanuel is spectacular as Evie. I'd love to see Emmanuel headline more films & not just play supporting roles. Thomas Doherty is outstanding as De Ville. Sean Pertwee is fantastic as Renfield. Hugh Skinner is good as Oliver. Carol Ann Crawford is perfect as Mrs. Swift. Alana Boden is excellent as Lucy. Stephanie Corneliussen is phenomenal as Viktoria. The supporting cast is good. The Invitation is worth a watch for horror movie fans & Nathalie Emmanuel fans. Just lower your expectations, a tad bit.
