Critics Consensus

It's admittedly uneven, but Who Invited Them benefits from writer-director Duncan Birmingham's playful approach to genre tropes.

Katie Rife

Dread Central

Birmingham does a good job teasing the audience with the possibility of violence, while coyly withholding the orgy of bloodshed that seems sure to explode at some point.

Rated: 3.5/5

This housewarming party from hell that just won't end finds humor and horror in the suffocating details of social awkwardness.

It manages to be laugh out loud funny while also making the audience feel uneasy.

Cass Clarke

Slashfilm

Even though the film's small talk carefully sows seeds for dramatic tension later, the characters' reactions aren't sharp enough to land what feels like a half-hearted followthrough.

This one crept up on me. Lots of quotable lines. Love Ryan Hansen and was pleasantly surprised by where it went.

Only watched for Perry Mattfeld. It was ok. Nothing really mentionable or of significance.

I almost turned it off after the first two scenes but I'm glad I didn't. This felt like a play in a good way. Some elements felt familiar but there were enough twists and darkly funny lines to keep me interested. If you don't mind low budget and very dry humor, you will probably enjoy.

Enjoyed the hell out of this. It's definitely low budget. Almost like a mumblecore horror. Also reminded me of Whit Stilman. Simple concept well executed with great actors. I thought I knew what was happening but then I doubted what I was guessing which I think was the intention. And it's a tight 90 min. Just don't expect full on blood and gore.

Like if Rupert Pupkin from The King of Comedy staged a home invasion. Loved this concept and the four main actors were all good. Wish it were longer but a strong indie horror/dark comedy.

Entertaining and a decent story. Ramps up at the end to suddenly end with a twist, but overall a decent watch.
