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

Movie Nation

A short-but-not-particularly-brisk thriller delivers smirks, not laughs and intrigues, not frights.

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.

2022's 'Who Invited Them', which is streaming on Shudder, is a decent stab at the home invasion thriller genre. SYNOPSIS: 'Two couples bond at a housewarming party. The hosts become suspicious when the lingering guests reveal wealth and continue drinking into the night.' This is a film which is more a comment on social awkwardness and wealth than it is anything else. As the film progresses there's a dark sense of foreboding as our expectations of something bad happening rise by the minute. Unfortunately, it feels like a bit of a nothing of a film. It's not going to set the world alight but it's also not a bad film. I was always waiting for more. Waiting for the action. The violence. But this trope has been done to death in the past, and done a lot better in films like 'The Strangers'. It's a simple film whose thrills wouldn't be missed if it never existed, but at only 89 minutes long it passed the time. Predictable. 6/10

Buena idea, una película bastante inteligente que te lleva y cumple. Simple pero con una buena trama y resolución a la altura. Es mayoritariamente diálogos pero al ser bastante cortita logra resolver antes de que se vuelva monótona.

Really intriguing movie, had me at the end of my seat! Ending is a little confusing though if you think about it.
