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.

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.

subtle, to the point of confusion, while also being blatant, to the point of predictable.

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.

definitely funny but I forgot that I hate horror/comedy

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

Offbeat and darkly funny. Not a bad way to pass the time.

Entertaining, no more than that.

Clever and well acted horror with comedy elements. Very easy watch.

Saw this at a special screening in Maine and really enjoyed it although with the rest of the audience. Super tense and a clever concept. I kept changing my mind about what I thought was going on. Actors all nailed it.

Original thriller with great direction and a cast that performs brilliantly. I like when a movie can still surprise the audience.

About a manipulative couple who test their new friends' commitment to each other with some questionable late night party games. Everything about this film is familiar, especially the acting that is a poor representation of other actors who have gone on to greater achievement. To believe the couple with no- good intent could move so successfully into convincing these new house buyers to act upon their suggestions, which they present as either exercises to improve the marriage ( which until this point seems great) or proposals of a sexual nature) is nonsense. Movie tries for black comedy but every component - acting, dialogue and motivation- are too weak for success.

It's strangely creepy how much we seem not to notice or inquire. Who Invited Them present us the modern man who has blurring personal boundaries and a compromised individuality. It's so common these days that what this plot offers seem to be a scary possibility. Strong performances by Ryan and Melissa to portray a couple still settling in a new set-up. Great dialogues and indeed a satisfying story that would have been a little better if there was a third party who would have attended to the friend who visited back for the toy. Tension was not present nore was sound effects. But when all things considered Who Invited Them is a interesting plot that deserves your time.

It's not a bad film from relatively newb filmmaker Duncan Birmingham, who wrote and directed this drama. I'm not sure why it's listed as a comedy and horror, because there were only a few chuckles, nothing horrific, and only about 10 minutes of any actual thrills or suspense. The rest of the time is mostly dialogue-based scenes that really don't add much to the film. Birmingham's directing was decent, but the screenplay needed more action to fill in all the social awkwardness of the scenes with mostly irrelevant dialogue. Plus the the final act needed more of a punch, instead of just a push on the shoulder.
