The Invitation - Unrated Edition | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The simmering, building romance unfolds at a steady pace. This may not light a fire in BookTok circles, but the structure fits decades of romance storytelling.

It cannot rise above how generic and dull a lot of it is, never bringing the story to satisfying conclusions.

Nothing to re-invent the wheel certainly, and not always subtle but still effectively entertaining and with some nice little references for fans of the lingering source material.

While this has decent horror elements and fun performances, it’s overly predictable and loses its steam when you figure out what’s going on.

The Invitation begins with a great premise and also succeeds in keeping you hooked for most of the part, but it's only when the film enters its climax, the plot goes haywire and misses the plot.
