Synopsis
The Invitation (2016) is a slow-burn psychological thriller with horror teeth that you can watch online on iFILM. Director Karyn Kusama traps you inside a single dinner party in the Hollywood Hills, where every polite smile feels off.
Will (Logan Marshall-Green) arrives with his new girlfriend at a house that used to be his. His ex-wife Eden lives there now, with her partner David (Michiel Huisman). Old friends, good wine, locked doors. As the night drags on, Will is sure the hosts are hiding something behind their warmth. Is he spiraling after a private grief, or is the whole table walking into a trap?
Kusama withholds the answer almost to the last frame, then pulls the floor out in the closing minutes. One location, 100 minutes, a quiet dread that tightens by the scene. John Carroll Lynch turns up in a key role. Long whispered about as one of the decade's most underrated horror titles, it still earns its spot on best-of lists. Stream The Invitation (2016) online on iFILM.
