60 of 135 · most liked firstI keep thinking about the Karyn Kusama movie, The Invitation. The haunting image of those red lanterns blinking on all over the hillside… that’s what it felt like last night, watching the states turn red for Trump.

Every day, my significant other mentions like, The Proposition, The Proposal, The Game, The Invitation, and I very sincerely go, “Is that about paying to sleep with someone’s wife?” They should have named that movie Wife Sleeper

unlabelledView post →Caught up with THE INVITATION this morning, which I’d missed before. A good movie that also belongs to one of my favorite cinematic sub-categories: Unexpectedly, John Carroll Lynch Shows Up.

unlabelledView post →post a horror movie everybody should see 🖤 I was going to post both of these, but since someone already posted The Invitation, I’m going with May.
unlabelledView post →This is such an incredible murderer’s row of talent behind this, goddamn. Karyn’s movie The Invitation remains one of my favorite horror movies, Victor’s written some of my favorite books, and Chris gave us Halt & Catch Fire. Oh and Ridley’s done some alright stuff.
unlabelledView post →Also got to talk to THE Karyn Kusama (!) about THE INVITATION, also released today on this date (4/8/2016 was a good day). We talked about how the movie holds up even better in the wake of the death cult we're seeing on the daily. www.fangoria.com/the-invitati...
unlabelledView post →Watching Coherence on Hoopla. Love this one – I love a good dinner party thriller movie. It would make a great double feature with “The Invitation” that we watched last week. #frightclub
unlabelledView post →A HALLOWEEN REC A DAY #29 Horror Statelies:* THE INVITATION (2015) Patient filmcraft and barely-subsumed trauma has marked recent horror, and no one’s done it better than Kusama with “The Invitation,” a devastating film about how escaping those feelings is the worst solution. (Roku, Pluto, et al)
unlabelledView post →Recently rewatched The Invitation (2022). I really like this one. As weird as it sounds, it’s a cozy gothic horror. Lush, moody, and even though the plot feels familiar, who can resist a stylish, atmospheric vampire romance gone wrong?
unlabelledView post →108. The Invitation (dir. Kusama, 2015). This movie is like... all my social anxieties about parties at a friend-of-a-friend's house I've ever had, magnified and exaggerated into a terrible nightmare. By the time the first body drops, it's almost a *relief.*
unlabelledView post →The Invitation also has one of the best horror movie endings of the 21st century
unlabelledView post →Horror film recommendation of the day: The Invitation (2015). Logan Marshall-Green plays a man who is increasingly certain that something is very wrong at a dinner party. Karyn Kusama has such a grip on her film, the tension ratchets and ratchets. It’s like all the air is sucked out of the room.

unlabelledView post →I am literally begging horror movie creators to name their movie something other than The Ritual or The Invitation. We’ve got plenty of those thank you very much!
unlabelledView post →A Horror Movie I Can’t Live Without for 9/30/24: Karyn Kusama’s 2015 masterpiece The Invitation. It’s like the love child of Cassavetes and John Carpenter. Emotionally mature. Deeply astute. Incredible script, stylish direction, cinematography and killer performances. Jaw dropping ending. Beautiful.

unlabelledView post →You know you’ve got good movie taste when one of your earliest theater-going memories is watching (and loving) David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD as a kid 😉 Filmmaker Karyn Kusama (JENNIFER’S BODY, THE INVITATION) joins us tomorrow on a new episode of The American Cinematheque Podcast! 🎙️💛
unlabelledView post →Tonight's movie is The Invitation (2022). For all we hear about Dracula let's get the story of one of Dracula's wives.
unlabelledView post →Horror movie of the day The Invitation (2015) Pure social horror that really gets at what it's like to interact with cult members, and the pressures of polite social interaction. Grief, secrets, and bloodlust simmer beneath the surface of a dinner party
unlabelledView post →If we need to keep getting Hamlets made I want to see Karyn Kisama make a horror movie version similar to The Invitation - claustrophobic, terrifying specters, murdering your family et cetera
unlabelledView post →The Invitation deserves SO MUCH LOVE. That movie is a masterclass in slow deliberate tension
unlabelledView post →For @variety.bsky.social , I reviewed BIRDEATER, a horror-laced ensemble piece from Australia. Think THE INVITATION or ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME but more experiential and with bolder stylistic choices. The standout here is actor Ben Hunter. Here’s my review: variety.com/2025/film/re...
unlabelledView post →There are two movies called THE INVITATION, one has Dracula in it, one doesn't. And it is probably the only case in history when, choosing between a movie with Dracula and one without, you definitely wanna pick the movie without Dracula.
unlabelledView post →Brand spanking new piece on Karyn Kusama's The Invitation from 2015. Death, grief, cults and how a movie with a million dollar budget became prophesy. Free to all. www.patreon.com/alexapagliuc...
unlabelledView post →Also, for a single location film, whose script could really be a play, the way The Invitation is shot is phenomenal. The lighting is gorgeous, and everything about the choices in composition, blocking, editing in fades and blurs... even the simple close ups could be beautiful stills.
unlabelledView post →oh my god this would be such a good movie, like The Thing crossed with The Invitation but silly

unlabelledView post →Off the top of my head, one of my all-time favorites is The Invitation (2015), in my opinion Karyn Kusama's true masterpiece. I have never had another film so successfully draw me into that "am I being paranoid?" space. It's just brilliant in so many ways. How about y'all?
