The film's stand-out performance comes courtesy of Andi Norris, whose turn as Caitlin is everything you want a best friend to be.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

Fangoria

A slow, scary, ambiguous descent into the darkest part of the human psyche and one assembled by filmmakers who remember that what you don't see almost always trumps what you do.

Rated: 3/4

Starts out as the epitome of predictable and gradually grows more novel as we move on.

All things considered, The Invoking is a strong feature debut. Its measured nature is a quality that more independent feature films should strive for, taking stock of the resources available to the production before leaping off the deep end.

With the relationships and unraveling story line, there is lots to like, but it just doesn't gel together well

I honestly couldn't wait for this to be over. It had a slow pace, five-second stills of the ground, the woods, and the fields, and long stretches where the characters were walking, running, or driving. Or just sitting there doing nothing. And worst of all, no closed-captioning so I could watch it at a faster pace. I got to the end and couldn't decide what made me more upset--that the ending made no sense, or that I lost two hours and five minutes of my life I'll never get back. The only reason it gets two stars instead of one is that the acting is superb and believable, the setting realistic, and the dialog snappy. But the pace and plot leave much to be desired.

Do not waste your time on this movie, especially if you are expecting to see a horror movie. Nothing happens. This was the biggest disappointment. I should have know when there were zero reviews on here.
