The consequences of stuff overly concerned with what other people think can be severe. Who Invited Them from Shudder is a mucosa that does just this. In an effort to wow your peers and superiors at work, you may be tempted to spend whilom your ways on a lavish mansion. By pretending to be someone other than who you really are (and alienating those people in the process), you risk losing the support of your friends and colleagues. And if you’re so worried well-nigh offending people to heed your own instincts, you may leave yourself unshut to harm. Adam (Ryan Hansen) and Margo (Melissa Tang) do all of the whilom in Who Invited Them, the first motion picture from writer-director Duncan Birmingham. They are forced to discover that caring too much well-nigh what other people think can have catastrophic results.
Even though Margo isn’t quite ready for a housewarming celebration, she understands the significance of Adam throwing one for the sake of his career. Even if his supervisor thinks it’s gross, he should seize this endangerment to curry favor with her. He can moreover flaunt his impressive record collection. She makes an effort to socialize and have a nice time, but towards the end of the evening, when everyone else has left save for a younger couple, she and Adam realize that they don’t genuinely know each other. They had both initially unsupportable the other was a buddy. Showing them the door as politely as possible, they confront the matter throne on, only to be saved by a seemingly reasonable explanation. They repent to each other and decide to wind lanugo the night by having a few drinks together. This may seem like a good idea at the time, but it might end up stuff a terrible one.
While spooky out without the party, Adam and Margo talk well-nigh a “very slick pair” who attracted their vision for several reasons. Tom (Timothy Granaderos) and Sasha (Perry Mattfeld) are two uninvited guests who neither them welcomed or knows; they find out to their utter shock that the pair is still in the home without snorting coke in the toilet. In spite of the unusual circumstances, Adam manages to convince a hesitant Margo that the four of them ought to participate in an afterparty without discovering that the couple are their new next-door neighbors and that Tom is well-established in the LA power elite. As the night progresses, it is unclear whether Tom and Sasha are attempting to make sport of their neighbors and friends, wanting to swing with them, or have increasingly nefarious motives; however, as they expertly push Adam and Margo’s buttons and pit them versus one another, they are moreover putting them through a twisted kind of marriage counseling, where altercations are had and wrestling truths are revealed. As Adam and Margo spend the night together reflecting on their love and what it has given them thus far, they will grow closer to one another.
Who Invited Them is Fast-paced and amusing, but ultimately draining, Who Invited Them is like having a fantastic time at a party only to be disappointed that it has to stop. Thanks in large part to Timothy Granaderos and Perry Mattfeld’s magnetic performances, Tom and Sasha come off as increasingly menacing than they unquestionably are, and yet they still manage to get Adam and Margo to unshut up to them. Although Adam doesn’t go into detail, he does warn Tom that the house they uninventive has a visionless history that involves a murder-suicide. Adam, however, would rather that Margo not learn the house’s history, so he has Tom pledge not to tell her. Adam and Margo, played by Ryan Hansen and Melissa Tang, are a modest couple who uncork to wonder if Tom and Sasha are as perfect as they seem. Tom and Sasha (Granaderos and Mattfeld, with unconfined comedic timing and provocative performances, respectively) are the show-stopping stars, despite Adam and Margo’s mounting unease.
Who Invited Them is a deceptively well-written mucosa that viewers may mistake for something they’ve seen before; yet, once a specific spiel concerning the home begins, horror lovers should sound the alert. The road itself is increasingly important than the final goal in a narrative like this.
One of my complaints well-nigh the movie is that it gives too much away. The final act of the mucosa is overly predictable considering of an older scene in which Adam (Ryan Hansen) gives backstory well-nigh the residence. Even though that’s where the suspense is most, I found the “twist” to be unsatisfying considering it was so transparent.
At the end the movie was still enjoyable and I requite it 3.5 stars out of 5.
