My wife and I got a diner party invitation to one of her co-workers place in the next few weeks. We are not Fucking going!!

at some point i thought they were gonna start a 10 people weird orgy thing or something... close enough

undeniably tense as fuck, Kusama works wonder on a tiny budget and also there's Lindsay Burdge, but this is the latest in a long line of kinda cheap / formally excellent domestic horror stories that feel content to be genre exercises, and deny themselves the opportunity to become more than that. it's a hell of a ride, but it's all surface... it's all putting the right beats in the right places... it works, but it might work too hard.

But Why Did They Go To His Ex's Dinney Party In The First Place

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

"... that was mercy"

the destructive, wavelike nature of grief as a communal experience that permeates every space we occupy, every movement we make & every interaction we have. kusama's formal grace is the obvious star here, the masterful staging, gestures & spatial awareness she shows off in particular, but as the film goes on & the screws tighten agonizingly slowly all the way until its haunting final image, kusama achieves something far beyond form -- her genre thrills deeply woven with a sense of the pervading, inescapable pain that, whether we're struggling to remember or forget, can blind us as easily as it brings us together.

fucking dinner parties

you tell me if you went to someone's house and their doors locked from the inside you would not get the fuck out immediately

Genuinely shocked at the rollercoaster of ratings my subsequent viewings of this movie have taken me on, especially because this time it really reminded me of some bad student films I had to watch in Austin during college.

this movie made me LOL (because of my friends)

This is my definition of groundbreaking, it takes a known topic and turns it into a real story, it keeps you so tense since the very beginning, many details, great cast, it is a balanced film with Charles Manson's vibes.

Anyways, omg (Logan Marshall-Green), i thought this was Tom Hardy...

DONT read this if u don’t want possible spoilers! <3

this movie is insane. the way the tension builds the whole time reminds me quite a bit of hereditary, but obviously they’re very different.

I like how we start to believe that Will truly is being over dramatic, only to be completely wrong. My heart quite literally dropped a couple of times from the jump scares LOL 

overall, I liked the ending a lot, it was a good wrap up. The concept is also pretty good, just basic. I wish they went about the whole movie a little differently, it felt like there were scenes and aspects that weren’t necessary.

and this is why i dont go to parties

please baby no more parties in LA

man, I thought Michael Scott’s dinner party was the worst dinner party ever. guess I was wrong

Slow building of tension but with v unsatisfying payoff :(

What if you went to a weird guys house

Filmaço! Saí pesado depois do filme, mas valeu muito a pena. Umas horas as atuações me incomodavam, mas logo me acostumei e entrei na paranóia. Sensacional!

wack as hell

In this taut psychological thriller by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight, Jennifer's Body), the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green, Prometheus) shows up to a dinner party hosted by his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard, Into the Woods) and new husband David (Michiel Huisman, Game of Thrones). The estranged divorcees' tragic past haunts an equally eerie present; amid Eden's suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda. Unfolding over one dark evening in the Hollywood Hills, The Invitation blurs layers of mounting paranoia mystery, and horror until both Will - and the audience - are unsure what threats are real or imagined.

oh FUCK
