Screen Gems dropped ‘The Invitation’ trailer in front of the opening weekend of ‘The Black Phone’ and the movie pegged as a “gothic conspiracy” and a “a contemporary horror thriller” gives us something to sink our teeth into. Formerly titled ‘The Bride,’ ‘The Invitation’ is one of a handful of vampire and Dracula inspired films that will be coming out within the next year.
SYNOPSIS:
After the death of her mother and having no other known relatives, Evie (Nathalie Emmanuel) takes a DNA test…and discovers a long-lost cousin she never knew she had. Invited by her newfound family to a lavish wedding in the English countryside, she’s at first seduced by the sexy aristocrat host but is soon thrust into a nightmare of survival as she uncovers twisted secrets in her family’s history and the unsettling intentions behind their sinful generosity.
Jessica M. Thompson directs this horror-thriller that also stars Thomas Doherty, Stephanie Corneliussen, Alana Boden, Courtney Taylor, Hugh Skinner, and Sean Pertwee.
Screen Gems’ ‘The Invitation’ opens in theaters on August 26, 2022.
