A bit horror, a bit, mystery, a bit drama, this movie could be a bit ho-hum in the suspense department. But it’s not, and those who don’t like the usual horror fare might dip their toe in with this slow-burn.
Two years ago, Will and Eden’s son died tragically, the couple divorced, and now Will has received an invitation to a dinner party at Eden’s house (where they used to live as a family). The story unfolds slowly over the course of the evening, as Will, his new girlfriend, and several old chums meet Eden’s new guy David and the couple’s friends, and are also introduced to Eden’s new positive outlook on life. Will begins to feel some very weird vibes from the situation and events, soon suspecting there is more than a simple dinner party on the agenda. But his hold on reality is often tenuous at best due to his still raw grief over losing his son and returning to the house where he once lived. Is Will just being paranoid? Why is he so suspicious? As the clock ticks by, Will must decide: was this really just an invitation to a dinner party, or should they all have RSVP’d NO?
