When I give INVITATION 5 stars, I'm comparing it to other low-budget films. I am NOT putting it up against THE EXORCIST, THE SHINING, or any other multi-million dollar horror epic. So, yes, it is cheaply made, has no name stars, and has that cheezy "soap opera" look. However, it is well-made considering its limitations. I found it semi-creepy, mysterious, and entertaining enough to watch it again. The rural lodge setting w/ its bizarre caretaker and host of potential victims is nice and compact. My only complaint would be that it could have been a few minutes shorter. Also available on DECREPIT CRYPT OF NIGHTMARES...

Can't really say much more. Dumb story, bad acting, the kind that doesn't make a movie badly good.

This is such a crap. These camcorder-shots are not realistic but ridiculous. Group talk is simple and annoying, the ghosts are old fashioned with their halloween-contactlenses. The invitation-mailing takes so much time that at the end valerie has to be killed very quickly (and very uninspired). So this is one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. It's at least just a nice piece for a 13 year old boy to see some breastesses (if he has'nt any other choice) - but this has nothing to do with horror. Forget it and save your money!!!

I bought this movie because of the first review written. I just about want to kick my own butt. This movie is lower than a B-rated movie. It's an F rated one! Someone shot it with a camcorder and thought it would be fun to film people from below their chins, angled upward. I got so tired of looking up people's noses. I started to think I was watching Blair Witch, but snot never flowed. Anyway, if I had it to do all over again, I would've spent that 90 minutes pulling out my toenails. Seriously. Don't bother with this one, unless you are completely drunk and want to watch a stupid comedy.

[...]. That dude either has some personal interest in this stinkfest, or he doesn't know horror (possibly both).
I could compose an endless tirade on how incredibly awful this piece of dung is, but, even that could not prepare the viewer adequately.
Leave this one alone, and if you happen to see it in your local video store, point and laugh hysterically at the package as you walk by.
A couple of decent boob shots is not worth the cost of the time you'll waste screaming at your television over this one, trust me. It really doesn't even rate the one star that I gave it, but, that's the lowest grade I was allowed to give.

I ordered that movie not knowing a thing about it. I just knew that it was a BRAIN DAMAGE release and that it was cheap enough to give it a try.

Now let me tell you something... That flick is awesome !! I was expecting a low budget gorefest instead I got a REAL SCARY movie : the type that makes your girlfriend grab your arm and that makes you jump in your seat. I mean, the beginners who only know SCREAM and such are going to wet their pants, for real.

The plot is simple. A group of old school friends, who all share the guilt of having " accidently " caused the death of a nerdy kid during their childhood, are invited to a country hotel. They all meet there, start to party and there you go... weird things start to happen. It soon becomes clear that DEAD CHILDREN are in the house.

I've said too much already. It is beautifully shot, most of the actors are allright and even mannage to add some depth to their characters. You care for them and, of course, it makes the whole thing more believable and scary. Now being MR GORYSSIMO I can't give that movie 5 stars because of the gore being too low. But don't get me wrong, INVITATION rules and will, like I said, give enough scares as it is.

That movie should'nt be ignored any longer. Take MR GORYSSIMO's word and accept the INVITATION.
