Why watch this film?
The Invitation, directed by Jessica M. Thompson, is a horror-mystery film that tells the story of Evie, a young woman who discovers a long-lost cousin after taking a DNA test. She is invited to a lavish wedding in the English countryside, where she is seduced by the sexy aristocrat host. However, she soon uncovers twisted secrets in her family's history and the unsettling intentions behind their sinful generosity. Despite a likable lead and a refreshingly light touch, the movie is ultimately too predictable to thrill as either a romance or a horror story. The Invitation comes with some good acting and interesting ideas, but it takes way too long to really get going. The movie has a PG-13 rating due to sexual content, partial nudity, some strong language, terror, and violent content. Overall, The Invitation is a decent horror-mystery flick that is worth watching if you are a fan of the genre, but it may not be the best choice for those looking for a truly thrilling experience.

Horror
Thanksgiving
After a Black Friday riot ends in tragedy, a mysterious Thanksgiving-inspired killer terrorizes Plymouth, Massachusetts – the birthplace of the holiday. Picking off residents one by one, what begins as random revenge killings are soon revealed to be part of a larger, sinister holiday plan. Will the town uncover the killer and survive the holidays…or become guests at his twisted holiday dinner table?
All Fun and Games
Salem is a city that defies time. A primary reference when it comes to witches in the United States, the place is still remembered today in horror stories and serves as a backdrop for movies that evoke the city's infamous past. This is the case with All Fun and Games, a horror feature that follows a group of teenagers from Salem who discover a cursed knife that unleashes a demon, forcing them to play terrible and deadly versions of childhood games where there can be no winners, only survivors. Starring Natalia Dyer and Asa Butterfield, the film doesn't bring anything new to cinema, reproducing elements we've seen hundreds of times on the big screen, but can still be entertaining, especially for those groups of friends who go to the movies to watch horror films and have a good laugh while jumping in their seats.
Nefarious
On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.
Sick
The best way to describe "Sick" is as a pandemic-era horror movie. Directed by John Hayms (Alone) and co-written by Kevin Williamson (Scream) and newcomer Katelyn Crabb, the film is about a group of teenagers who decide to spend the pandemic quarantine isolated in a remote countryside house, only to be invaded by a killer. Without reinventing the wheel, "Sick" is an excellent slasher with a fun self-awareness that, besides being a perfect time capsule of an uncomfortable period in our history, will satisfy genre fans.
