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 Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com A staid home invasion thriller about a timid married couple who are bullied by two flirtatious strangers. Rated: 1/4 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Though I found it incomplete, I found it amusing and worth seeing. Rated: B Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Chase Hutchinson Collider This housewarming party from hell that just won't end finds humor and horror in the suffocating details of social awkwardness. Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT It manages to be laugh out loud funny while also making the audience feel uneasy. Oct 18, 2022 Full Review 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.

Rex R 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Chessy T 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Jamie R Entertaining and a decent story. Ramps up at the end to suddenly end with a twist, but overall a decent watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Craig B Who Invited Them is a fairly serviceable crime thriller. A decent cast headed by Perry Mattfeld and Timothy Granaderos as 'the neighbours' keeps this short, sharp and creepy movie hurtling along without losing steam. If you have less than an hour and half spare, you could certainty do a lot worse than this movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Jonah K subtle, to the point of confusion, while also being blatant, to the point of predictable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Dan R 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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
