Should young teens RSVP for
the scares in The Invitation?

00:00:07.305 --> 00:00:10.322
[Music plays]
[Woman screams]

00:00:10.322 --> 00:00:13.020
Well, it's probably best they
sit this one out.

00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:14.283
[Crowd laughs]
[Fist banging]

00:00:14.283 --> 00:00:15.037
"Help!"

00:00:15.037 --> 00:00:17.820
In this gothic thriller, a
woman's family reunion

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.460
turns into a nightmare of
death and deception.

00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:21.752
"I want to go home!"

00:00:21.752 --> 00:00:22.800
"But this is your home."

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.100
Genre fans who like their
horror bloody will get lots of

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:26.834
that here.

00:00:26.834 --> 00:00:30.120
The villains are vampires,
who do lots of biting, cutting,

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.660
and slicing, and go to town
in one explicitly gory scene.

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:37.566
Characters are also impaled
and burned alive.

00:00:37.566 --> 00:00:40.800
Other iffy stuff includes
passionate kissing and implied

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:44.400
sex, plus a few S-words and
one comical F-bomb.

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:46.560
"I'm so glad you've come to 
your senses."

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.160
As for positives, this is a
female-forward story, written

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:53.760
and directed by women, with
a strong multiracial protagonist.

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.797
"Everyone is dying to meet you!"
