Opens in theaters this weekend. the invitationHorror movie directed by Jessica M ThompsonWhich shares the title with another major horror movie by another director in 2015. Beware, don’t confuse them.
At the same time the invitation 2015 director Karen Kusama We introduced and surprised A true horror story that became the best of the year And it even won the Best Film award at the Sitges Film Festival the invitation From 2022 it is still a classic horror movie to pass the time.
For the record, I don’t mean to come out in a derogatory way. The movie is very entertaining. It is visible and not heavy on you.
championship Natalie Emmanuel (missandy in Game of thrones), may remind us of other recent films of this genre, such as Jordan Peele’s best film, let me out (2017) or the funny and bloody, wedding night (2019). From the start, he shares the argument against racism and classism by putting a middle-class black leadership figure alongside a disgustingly rich white family. Second, the fact that the protagonist must leave alive Disturbing medieval traditions for that family full of money.
the invitationTransform Cinderella into a horror story
Jessica M. Thompson tells a story Effie (Natalie Emmanuel), a New York artist who has to work as a waitress to survivelike many others.
His mother died of cancer and he no longer had a family. Or so I’ve thought since then DNA testing is done A wealthy English cousin calls her to meet her. They meet in a cute restaurant and quickly become friends. To the extent that He invited her to a wedding in the UK.
ivy thx but how His new Caucasian family pays all kinds of expenses Which may arise from the invitation, he finally decides to go to the wedding.
Once you get there, you will be fascinated by the luxurious mansion in which you will be staying and the wedding ceremony will take place. But He’d be more like Walter (Thomas Doherty)Attractive owner of the mansion.
She cannot believe that her English family has so much money and that they treat and accept her so well. She feels like a queen, and with the exception of the butler, everyone treats her that way. But not everything will go off without a hitch, right? This mansion hides more than one secret And some other terrible events.
The library is forbidden to enter, and there are some strange little bells from which the servants can be called and because he slept in that house, horrific nightmares. Was she right to accept the invitation to the wedding?
Vampires and ghosts of all life
the invitation It begins with a brutal scene. From that moment on, it keeps us interested in what’s going to happen. He introduces us to the protagonist, played correctly by Nathalie Emmanuel, and He invites us to a wedding where nothing is what it seems. A romantic love story between Evie and Walter will emerge that will draw us like nooks and crannies. But we already know that in this type of movie, there is a moment when everything changes. That moment is essential. Either the movie or the grave lifts you up. We are all waiting This script that leaves us with a crooked ass And in this case, it is about vampires.
It wasn’t a bad idea, the problem is The type of vampire he uses, vampires all his life. From the boring that no longer surprises anyone. Of those whose fangs are no longer afraid. old fashion. Those who have three or more girlfriends. Those who have never outgrown the incarnations we were able to enjoy in Dracula Coppola or Interview with the vampire by Neil Jordan. The last good approach to this type of vampire was in Byzantium Also by Neil Jordan.
the invitation Don’t take yourself too seriously in this sense, and don’t pretend Innovation in the vampire genre. He even takes pleasure in including celebrities in the movie Mina and Jonathan Parker From Bram Stoker in a rather funny situation.
The same thing happens with ghosts, they are nothing more than a resource. Typical shadow scare and others that are usually accompanied by a dramatic sound To get us up from the chair.
the invitation: a missed opportunity
It’s a shame Jessica M. Thompson missed out on giving us a better horror movie, a better vampire movie, or A better film that denounces the racism and classism that the black race still suffers from In this xenophobic and capitalist society that has become increasingly antiquated.
the invitation It’s a movie with standard heroes, a far cry from the reality it deplores. He remains on the surface of any claim he tries to make in this regard. Just like walking around in horror. She held on to him, but at no point did she hug him. as I was saying, Too bad it doesn’t look any better the invitation from 2015.
