It’s a bold choice to decide to set a movie exclusively during a dinner party. In this film, the singular setting adds a well-crafted sense of claustrophobia that radiates from the screen to the audience. Karyn Kusama’s The Invitation is Hitchcockian in the level of dread that builds from the beginning as the camera winds its way up into the Hollywood Hills.
