Movie Review - The Invitation
The Invitation was on par with what I've been reading. It was good but not great. There were great aspects but they didn't pull it off consistently.
I have no problem with the acting, they were all wonderful in their own ways. Especially Thomas Doherty as Walter, he has an intense screen presence that oozes sex appeal. Sadly, it was rated PG-13 so we didn't get to see too much of that sex appeal.
The movie wasn't as scary as I was hoping but while reflecting on it this morning, I think that was a good choice. It was intense at moments but it wasn't Hollywood gore intense. Simply understated would be a good description. The sets were another cool aspect. Visually they hit the nail on the head.
While I liked the movie it did feel a little rushed at the ending. There was such a long build-up of the story that the ending most assuredly needed more of an impact. It's the end that slightly disappoints. They could have added five more minutes and done a lot more to improve the overall quality of the film.
