      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Despite a very likable lead and a refreshingly light touch, The Invitation is ultimately too predictable to thrill as either a romance or a horror story.

      Audience Consensus

      The Invitation comes with some good acting and interesting ideas; unfortunately, it also takes way too long to really get going.

      Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle There’s no glitz or glamour to set it apart from the pack, and that’s ultimately [The Invitation's] demise. Rated: 2/5 Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com Thompson relies way too heavily on cheap jump scares to put us on edge, which is a shame, because there’s enough atmosphere within the film’s initial mystery. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Jude Dry indieWire Part inert bodice-ripper, part vampire Cinderella story, its mixed themes could have benefitted from a purer bloodline. Rated: C+ Aug 29, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …turning inside out the kind of Prince and Me daydream about marrying into royalty feels like the right subject for horror, even if most of the thrills are all generated by the rizz of the young cast rather than the narrative… Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? It lives or dies by how much you're willing to just hang with the cast as they chew scenery and pretend we didn't already know what's really going on. Rated: 6/10 Jan 6, 2023 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It The Invitation is a satisfying retelling of a classic literary monster with lots of gothic horror goodness along the way.
