First look at Jennifer’s Body director Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

THE INVITATION is Karyn Kusama’s first feature film since JENNIFER’S BODY, the campy horror-comedy loved by some, despised by others. This one looks rather different and boasts a fairly compelling plot. A few new pictures have surfaced (via Twitch), and you can view them above and below. (Click to see bigger versions.)

The plot:

Will and Eden were once a loving couple with a beautiful child. After a tragedy took their son from them, Eden disappeared suddenly, leaving her grieving husband behind. Three years later, out of the blue, she has returned with a new husband… and as a different person, profoundly and eerily changed.

On a dark night in the Hollywood Hills, Will returns to the house in which they lived for a reunion with Eden, his new girlfriend, Kira, and the group of friends that fell apart in the wake of the tragedy. Over the course of the evening, Will is gripped by mounting evidence that something very insidious has taken hold of his ex-wife, and that the new people in her life have a mysterious and horrifying agenda. But can we trust Will’s hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?

By the end of the night, the ramifications of what happens in this house will spread far beyond its doors.

THE INVITATION stars Logan Marshall Green, Tammy Blanchard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, and Michiel Huisman. We’ll let you know when it gets some good distribution news.
