The Invitation

Kusama expertly manipulates the tone throughout, ratcheting up tension and releasing it in quick bursts of nervous laughter, only to build it up again.

...an intimate, highly effective chiller in a confined space with an armrest-grabber of a payoff.

...a tense and skillful film that treats its audience like adults and gets the payoff it deserves.

The cast is uniformly great (...), and the film is elegantly shot.
