THE INVITATION Opens Friday at The Chase Park Plaza with the Director Attending for Two Shows
The 2015 shocker THE INVITATION opens Friday at The Chase Park Plaza Cinema (212 Kingshighway Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108). The film’s director Karyn Kusama, a St. Louis native, will be appearing at the Chase Park Plaza Cinema for two showings. She will be introducing the film and taking part in a post-film Q&A with Andy Triefenbach of DestroytheBrain.com SATURDAY, APRIL 23 at 7:20pm and SUNDAY, APRIL 24 at 2:50pm.
Look for Stephen Tronicek’s review of THE INVITATION Thursday night here at We Are Movie Geeks.com
In the taut psychological thriller THE INVITATION, the tension is palpable when Will (Logan Marshall-Green) shows up to his ex-wife Eden (Tammy Blanchard, Into the Woods) and new husband, David’s (Michiel Huisman) dinner party. The pair’s tragic past haunts an equally spooky present: Amid Eden’s suspicious behavior and her mysterious house guests, Will becomes convinced that his invitation was extended with a hidden agenda. Unfolding over one dark evening in the Hollywood Hills, The Invitation blurs layers of mounting paranoia, mystery, and horror until both Will-and the audience-are unsure what threats are real or imagined.
THE INVITATION has been receiving rave reviews:
Michael Phillips at The Chicago Tribune says THE INVITATION is:
“…….an unusually evocative achievement in suspense, and in a brand of cinematic paranoia unique to the hills, canyons and denizens of LA.”
Felix Vasquez Jr. at Cinema Crazed calls THE INVITATION:
“An absolute masterwork mixing horror, mystery, and drama, in to one truly haunting piece of art…”
Ray Pride at Newcity claims:
“Seething paranoia in the form of slow-burn tension marks Karyn Kusama’s scalpel-sharp Hollywood Hills dinner party-gone-wrong chamber drama where agendas overlap and bite.”
Don’t miss THE INVITATION when it plays in St. Louis!
