The Invitation (I) (2015)
1/10
Boring and predictable
12 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Boring and predictable, but not at the same time.

The first 80 minutes were about as exciting as watching paint dry. No one could have predicted the film could be that uneventful for that long.

Then it got predictable. All the stuff you had been waiting for finally happened. 15 minutes of Luke warm action that you thought would happen earlier in the movie finally trickles out.

Then, just as the last moments of the film arrive, a surprise ending! Which, instead of being sprung on you hoping to leave a lasting impression, is instead gradually introduced so that 30 seconds later the big reveal is now a tepid event that you caught onto 28 seconds ago, 29 if somehow your brain hadn't turned off before that and taken the extra second to wake up.

This movie will make you wish for the time of analog TVs, when you could tune to a non- station and just watch static.
