THE INVITATION Trailer: Something's Very Wrong at This Dinner Party
Karyn Kusama's The Invitation screened at some film festivals last year, and from what I can tell, it received a tremendously positive response from those who were able to see it. It's a psychological thriller about a guy who attends a dinner party for his ex-wife and her new husband, and things start to go terribly, terribly wrong. The trailer does a great job of not giving anything away while building an eerie sense of dread, and those of you who like psychological horror thrillers will probably have a lot of fun putting yourselves through the wringer watching this.
The Invitation arrives in theaters and on VOD on March 25th.
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.
