Drafthouse Films has acquired worldwide rights to Karyn Kusama’s thriller THE INVITATION, which had its world premiere at this year’s SXSW Midnight section. No release date has been announced just yet, but it’s likely the film will see a limited theatrical release as well as a VOD launch.
The film’s synopsis:
Will and Eden were once a loving couple. After a tragedy took their son, Eden disappeared. Two years later, out of the blue, she returns with a new husband… and as a different person, eerily changed and eager to reunite with her ex and those she left behind. Over the course of a dinner party in the house that was once his, the haunted Will is gripped by mounting evidence that Eden and her new friends have a mysterious and terrifying agenda. But can we trust Will’s hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?
Written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, THE INVITATION stars Logan Marshall Green, Tammy Blanchard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, and Michiel Huisman.
