60 of 183 · 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
neutral · AI labelView post →i don't know i don't know i need to get back to my actual job 2 adds were LOVERS ROCK (2020) (which is a MOVIE!! I don't CARE!!) and THE INVITATION (2016) -- rudely not in the database despite Karyn Kusama doing her own list for this very feature???
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a horror movie that isnt talked about enough. The Invitation (2015) 🍷
neutral · AI labelView 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.
positive · AI labelView post →post a horror movie everybody should see 🖤 The Invitation (2015)
neutral · AI labelView 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.
neutral · AI labelView 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.
positive · AI labelView 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...
neutral · AI labelView 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
neutral · AI labelView 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)
neutral · AI labelView 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?
positive · AI labelView 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.*
positive · AI labelView post →The Invitation also has one of the best horror movie endings of the 21st century
positive · AI labelView 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.

neutral · AI labelView 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!
neutral · AI labelView 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.

positive · AI labelView 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! 🎙️💛
neutral · AI labelView 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.
neutral · AI labelView 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
neutral · AI labelView 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
neutral · AI labelView post →The Invitation deserves SO MUCH LOVE. That movie is a masterclass in slow deliberate tension
positive · AI labelView 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...
neutral · AI labelView 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.
negative · AI labelView post →Next week on #FolkHorrorFriday we're watching The Invitation (2015). Join us Friday at 9pm ET and stream the movie for free on Tubi!
neutral · AI labelView 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...
neutral · AI labelView 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.
positive · AI labelView post →oh my god this would be such a good movie, like The Thing crossed with The Invitation but silly

neutral · AI labelView post →The Invitation (2022) is a fun movie to watch if you wished Get Out was set in Dracula's Castle and was also about Megan Markle.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks once again to @crossroadsfolk.bsky.social for picking an incredible film that I'd never otherwise have watched! #folkhorrorfriday is such a gift! And I'm incredibly hyped already for next week's pick, The Invitation, a movie I've seen 3 or 4 times and absolutely love!

positive · AI labelView post →Only just now realized I told a friend how much I loved THE INVITATION and they were talking about the 2022 movie and I was talking about the 2015 movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you’re into The Invitation. I wrote about it a few weeks ago. It’s free. What a great goddamn movie www.patreon.com/alexapagliuc...
positive · AI labelView 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?
positive · AI labelView post →Spending the evening watching horror films. Just finished The Invitation, which is the most by-the-numbers vampire bride movie every made. And yet still enjoyable. Now I'm watching Smile. It's officially halloween eve eve.
neutral · AI labelView post →Looking forward to tonight’s movie, The Invitation. I had confused this with The Gift (2015) for years (nearly 10 it seems!). Only realized in the last year or so this was not in fact the same film. So, anyway, finally. #FolkHorrorFriday
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation (2015). Lately I’ve been wanting to watch nothing but horror films (my fave)

negative · AI labelView post →#Horror film rec of the day: The Invitation (2015) Will and his girlfriend attend his ex-wife's dinner party, but she may have a sinister motive for inviting them. Logan Marshall-Green portrays the escalation from quiet social discomfort to panicked dread spectacularly. #horrorsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Do y'all remember that movie The Invitation? It was never going to be my boo Ready or Not but wow that is a movie whose second half does not live up to the first.
negative · AI labelView post →The Invitation (2015), directed by Karyn Kusama. The movie is a clinic on building tension.
