The Invitation

This tense thriller is the very definition of the word "ominous". It unravels the plot very slowly, carefully, and deliberately, all the while allowing the viewer to feel that something is very wrong, but not to know exactly what. The soundscape of the film is just glorious, and it aids the growing tension quite well. The cinematography is thoughtful and allows the viewer to feel caught in the same house as the characters are. But, for me, the crowning glory of this film is the last sixty seconds, which are just perfection. I really enjoyed this film. 4/5
