“The Invitation” Film Review

 


Hey guys, have you ever watched “The Invitation” Film? This is American horror thriller film. It contains many jumps scare but not too scary, blood, and vampire. There are many characters in strong position but I will mention some of them for you. Some characters that I remember well. I will mention start from the protagonist characters, they are Evie (also the main character), Swift (Evie’s maid), and Grace (Evie’s friend). Then the antagonist characters are Walter De Ville, Renfield (Walter’s butler), Viktoria, Oliver, and many more. The last is Lucy, I could say she is a tritagonist. There are 2 general setting places; on New York and England. For the specific setting place that I remember was on the De Ville’s mansion. The plot used on this film are mixed plot. Both chronological and reverse plot.

Then I will tell you a short story from this film. It is about vampire tradition. The film has been started with introducing the female main character, Evie, a woman who lives in New York, she is a long-lost American cousin of Oliver Alexander, British people. Oliver come to New York and then he talks about their cousin, Martin is getting married and he invite Evie to come. Long short story, Evie on the De Ville’s mansion, their family are welcome to her. But there are a lot of strange things are happening. One of the strange things is many rooms in the mansion are locked. However, Evie was falling in love with Walter. In the family gathering, Walter said that Evie and he will getting married, from then on Evie know that Walter and all people in there are vampire, except the maids. In the ending of this film, it shows how Evie efforts to change the wedding traditions that have been passed down for generations and kill all the vampires.

I have already told you about the plot story, so now we moved to talk about how my opinion about this film. Honestly, I like this film. Because basically I like thriller and action genres. I will explain three aspects that I like:


I like the setting place, in a mansion. Because the mansion was luxury and and  good. Actually, I like a mansion. Then the characters I like are Mrs. Swift, Grace, and Lucy. Honestly, I don’t like the female main character on this film. I can write that because Evie was careless and trusting, and sometimes she agreeing to something easier. 


But in the other side, I like the character development of Evie, she is brave and responsible.



I like Mrs. Swift character, because she is the very pure person. She helps Evie to runaway from De Ville mansion even if in the ends he was murdered to death.
 

I like Lucy character, she looks like an innocent person, but a vampire is being a vampire. I like her character development in the ending that she helps Evie to kill Viktoria. 



The last is I felt jealous with Evie and Grace relation. Their friendship on another level. 



Meanwhile in the aspect of acting, I like how Viktoria and Walter acts. First for Viktoria, honestly, she was already given a warn to Evie when they’re does spa together, but Evie didn’t mind it. Viktoria is sarcastic but in elegant ways. Second, for Walter, his act being a mysterious person was success. Those two characters makes me have a mixed feeling, both shocks, interested, and flustered.


Now, I will talk about the editing on this film. I like the way they shot the film, and they edit some blood scene become blurry so it’s not too triggering for me. I don’t know how about you guys. But I don’t like the way they edit the film on some specific scenes, such as when one of the maid was cleaning the library, at the ending of that scene, she looked up and I don’t know what happen because it was too dark that I can’t saw it clearly. So, for the editing there are some scenes I like and some scenes I dislike.

Overall, in my opinion, it was a good film with a simple plot. I recommend it to you whose are above 17 years old. Because this film contains sensitive scenes (for me) like kissing, and bed scene (but its not too severe). I give rate 7.5/10, but be careful because of the sound when jumps scare part will makes you shocks – of the sound (I almost slam my laptop, because I watched too close). Well, even though it was a horror and thriller film but I got the moral value from it. I will mention some of it depends to my opinion:

  • Don’t trust to people so easily
  • Be careful whenever and whatever you do, especially if you are in new place
  • Build a good relationship with your friend is important
  • You can change things if you want to and put in the effort.

As the closing statement from this review, I would like to say thanks for all who took the time to read this, I hope my review could help you, especially if you are decide either will or won’t watch this movie. Once again it was my honest review, honest opinion, and every persons has a different opinion. So if its not related to you, it might be because of we are different in senses.
