The Invitation: Directed by Jessica M. Thompson. With Nathalie Emmanuel, Thomas Doherty, Sean Pertwee, Hugh Skinner. A young woman is courted and swept off her feet, only to realize a gothic conspiracy is afoot.

The best part of this is Nathalie Emmanuel, she’s pretty great and I like her. This movie though, I have some complicated feelings about because while I’m about burnt out on vampires and their associated stories, they had some nice changes to the mythos that worked well enough that I can recommend the film, with the caveat that the final scene in the movie is so cringy and an obvious franchise building attempt that it nearly turned me off the idea of reviewing this at all.

Not every movie needs to plant the seed for the next film! Even if you already have the sequel in the can, let each film work on it’s on merits and not lean on the next one for closure.
