THE INVITATION (2015) Ending Explained 

Once the first person announces they are leaving, I love saying “Yeah I’m gonna go too, I gotta....(excuse)”😂😂

I would have GTFO at that point.

Not necessarily. The party wasn't "over" in that sense, they didn't even have dinner yet. She left because she was uncomfortable with a game, not a natural "welp, I gotta go pick up my kids thanks for having me" kind of way. That's hardly the *most* unrealistic thing in the movie.

I think that was very realistic. For just her to leave. It was a dinner party and people were getting reunited with everyone. Yes it had gotten weird but people give eachother the benefit of the doubt and I mean they were all close, its not like they were not going to try to understand or make the house guest comfortable and understood. Will was just seeing through the bullshit and was staying cause trauma, protecting his friends, proving a point to his ex and and and so why would he leave? This isnt a "I would've done this" movie, It's a "I was there in the moment movie" which is more honest imo.

Beau also they were drinking so everyone except Will wasn’t thinking completely straight

This is exactly what it felt like

@@_ninax3078 one of the rest survived

Sharil Shahed i still think that even if will had left early or stayed a vast majority of the guests would have been murdered. Doesn’t make a difference

@Tiny Neko King depends. Sometimes you can have smart victims but you need a smarter murderer/monster.

Yeah, not realistic at all

Why not? He was coming to meet his ex and her husband. Why come alone? Lol

😆

I thought somehow he will end up to be the guy that kill everybody lol

@@mileslaw lmao facts I thought he was gonna straight up butcher everyone there bruh

@@MindOfSheesh The movie is about people who refuse who call out weird sh-t, because they don't wanna break social norms. His friends were getting annoyed at him for not letting the small weirdo sh-t slide and ''MAKING A SCENE'' .Says a lot some people thought he was gonna be the killer. Over the obviously weirdo cult members. the guy invited a wife murder to dinner lol....That girl was right to leave right then

pwentbg, yes, definitely “The Circle”

i feel like the circle is very straightforward, and most of the movie doesn’t really need an explanation. i haven’t seen “the room” though, so i can’t pick out of the two haha

It's _Circle_ .

Edward Norton fosho

Could you imagine?

Impossible

Haha, how ridiculous would THAT be?

Haha..no way, couldn't possibly be true..

CryThePanda i agree with you

CryThePanda The Circle or Circle?

That's a really good one!

i agree with you .

Yes

think of it like a Game show, but where people die each round. sounds scary right. I LOVED it

I know Nothing about The Room, so that gets my vote lol

really liked it too... the ending was terrible....

It was very repetitive

That’s ok but I want the room good luck

I pretty confused with what really is the point in Circle.

@@neardarkroad1347 the premise of circle could be summed up in one word babushka dog

i def thought he was going to rave about it like I did.

I also liked it a lot

Some people just don't like how long it takes for shit to go down, which is understandable. I'm not a huge fan of ultra slow burn horror movies, but I think this one was done exceedingly well (also not ULTRA slow burn, despite what people say). I love this movie a ton. It's one of my favorite movies of the past decade and that's saying something considering in the past 2 months alone I've watched over 140 horror movies. It seems that the people who love this movie REALLY love it and the people who dislike it REALLY dislike it. I'm ok with that tbh.

@@BrokenGodEnt Thank you for not being one of those people who claim that people are too stupid to understand the film, or are just too use to B-horror movies to like this movie.

Same^ I didn’t expect much going into the film and honestly it was WAY better than I expected. I feel like he didn’t like it because it was slow. Anytime I hear anyone talk about the movie negatively it’s about how “slow” it was for them.

Vote for that new cult shit lodge movie what the fuck was that ?.?

Omg you people are always trying to push your agenda

BoniBon 666 nigga tf are you talking about

@@themajicaljew4161 you can't reason with a man that has that username. I've tried

What's wrong with adoption?

You speak the truth. I also believe it was supposed to be reminiscent of a realistic gathering. The main priority of the cultists was to have a good time with everyone and then peacefully kill them while covering up the little suspicions of Will. Obviously, this would lead to generic dinner conversation and anecdotes from the party-goers. A lot of subjects were “throw at the wall” because the characters were just being people. I enjoyed it.

This movie was TERRIBLE

"I've never been to a party that wasn't at least a little bit awkward, even among close friends." :( really?

how do you easily explain that many people in an area that is willing to kill their close friends? Its a movie to watch and not thing about, so you enjoyed it thinking it is easy to explain off thing when you really think about it, they movie falls apart.

Yea if you think about the manson family and jonestown those are real things in the real world. Its not that far fetched

They even mention in the start this "doctor's" influence in LA and Newyork which is horrifying because all of this is happening not just in the neighbourhood but over most of LA and NY.

You'd think a cult with rather wealthy members would want to make sure their members are alive

Cult leaders prey on vulnerable people. They isolate them and make them feel dependent on the cult. Considering the ex lost her son, the movie isn't so far fetched.

that is a lot of people in a neighbourhood that are willing to kill their friends, even over 5 years trying to convince them all and not have 1 go to the cops

Me neither I got invited to

Isn't that like an instrument or something?

@@nathanb5579 Multi-level Marketing (pyramid scheme)

Same.

No.

Suicide cults love bringing in as many new members as possible look at Jim Jones

Wow same, I thought that he was why I chose to watch the movie a few years back. Might be because it’s so similar to other movies he reviews.

Check out spookyrice.

Spooky has a lovely review

He did

Uhmmmm... the point is not the intelligence behind the cult that bothers, I think, but how realistic it can be. It's difficult to believe someone would devote themselves to the point of commiting (forced) mass suicide when the cult does not provide what they think they need. The movie gives you ideas about what the cult is about but fails to make it relevant to the plot and characters.

Neko Mata , Oh, you mean similar to the People’s Temple?

@@iamslf I know about Him Jones and his cult but I haven't seen the movie you mention, so I don't know if it's done properly. But yeah... Jonestown is a good example of people buying into a cult and commiting to it to the point of mass (forced) suicide. So... for the story in The Visit to make sense t they could've shown how their lives changed because of the cult (pattern of speech, avoiding cuss words, dressing modestly, living simply, or having their house covered in art propaganda, etc) and shown their belief and loyalty to their leader for example saying Jim Jones says: blah blah blah, taking him and his word and perfect and law, saying this a LOT, or getting super angry when leader gets insulted. And if they had a conflict of heart in the mass suicide, they could've shown guilt or fear or anxiety during the dinner, have the female cult member have a mini break down in the bathroom and then pull out a photo of the leader or a symbol of the cult as a talisman to calm down. All these things and other ideas can help the audience understand how critical the cult is for them, how unbalanced they are because of the teachings and how close to mass suicide they are getting... so it doesn't feel out of left field. And the couple could've mentioned how they got into it thanks to a friend in the neighborhood, which could explain the other red lanterns in a more believable light. There's not much "showing" and even less "telling" in this movie... and whatever is shown or told is not enough to make the audience believe what they are seeing, so there's no emotionality involved, no fear for the protagonists, no compassion or hatred towards the cultists, no anxiety over the red lanterns... nothing... a great failure in a movie

💯

@Buddah Theepoet you hear that buddhists?

Yep. One of the best parts of the movie was how at some point you as the viewer are tricked to think that maybe Will is actually being paranoid. Even if you know the movie is a thriller, you'll still question it.

Finally! I actually liked Will too! I really felt for him and his story.

I would've left early on but I have a bit of expirience with people like that so red flags pop up fast.

Yeah, he should of left

@@sorayaalcyone2726 thats the point.. how far people will go to keep the social norms... just saying ''your crazy,making a scene and leaving'' would be kinda akward. Thus many people play along and let things slide. This seals their fate

Just A Normal Person Who Loves Miraculous Ladybug how did the ending have you screaming I was just confused

it’s actually a really good movie in my opinion, definitely check it out if you’ve never seen it. i wouldn’t consider it a horror movie though.

Really? At least the boys tried to make a society. I’d think more Belko Experiment but more psychologically torturous.

You are tearing me apart Lisa!!

"That Tommy Wiseau horror movie" That's a weird way to spell "cinematic masterpiece"

Where can I stream The Room?

Oh hi mark

Stephanie Franey the horror flick or the Tommy Wiseau one?

That's what I was thinking after the shot with all the red lanterns in the neighborhood. Of course many of them would be in the cult, it's the perfect place to meet rich people with a bohemian soul thinking they've lived everything and now know everything.

ya right, "rich assholes in LA commit ritual suicide as they consider themselves beyond this world"

@@1EVERTONION I didn't get that they meant it was their last night on earth until obviously the twist was revealed but still everybody knew everyone was acting crazy and gaslighting very obviously.

Perfectly stated. It's definitely a movie for patient viewers that can delay gratification and enjoy the slow parts for what it is.

Exactly

Horse Joint we

I enjoyed it too. Especially given the tremendous amount of trash movies we've been wading through since the pandemic. It may not be Oscar worthy, but it was refreshing to see a decent movie.

slow burner they call it. this one on pointed it

I liked it too. Admittedly, I'm easily entertained and I don't usually have high expectations for the random movies I watch on Netflix at midnight lol

Me too and I love the ending. Gave me some sequel ideas like a purge like journey to escape the neighborhood 🤔

I like it too, not my favorite but it has some charm. But for me was a little more annoying because there wasn't too much room to doubt the protagonist, the cultist were weird af and was on the same level a him not getting why people wasn't leaving, specially the minute they show that crappy video, not matter who much of a friend they are, if the invite me to show me that I will leave, is like when your friend show you her new bussines and is just a mlm scam, the correct move is to just leave before it gets worse.

Had same sort of feel as the purge the 1st one well I enjoyed both

Couldn't agree more with you, not my favourite film by a long stretch, but I had those sort of thoughts when I watched it for the first time

Your comment makes more sense that this video. Whenever he doesn't like the movie, he always butchers the explanation. Thanks for this! ☺

Its great to see this comment. This is also reiterated by the fact that they intend to kill everyone AND themselves, plus there is a dialogue between David and Eden (?) where she gets cold feet and they talk about free from the pain. It is also backed up a little by real cults, where people get so convinced that they are following the “right” path and their notions are true, that they commit mass suicides.

This is the exact explanation i also came up with regarding the reasoning behind the cult people actions. This vídeo does not actually explain anything, ONLY describes what happens during the movie...

Adds some perspective of why the coyote scene was key and focused on at the start

so you are happy with the thought that a whole neighbourhood could be easily convinced so murder their close friends "to free them"... And not one of these people to call the cops when they don't want to kill their friends? A lot of logic needs to go out the window for this to work. Yes the coyote scene is neat but the movie falls apart

They had the same friend group and he had a child with her

@@outfield243 won't that be a bit awkward, when me and my girlfriend broke up (she cheated on me than she cheated on the person she cheated on me with... She likes to cheat on people)we kinda fought over who gets to hang out with which friend, highschool was a nightmare

Not everyone breaks up on bad terms

@@dirtbagindistress5545 Exactly, my parents are divorced, but they still care about each other. They always talk about how most people who get divorced or break up think that they have to hate each other, when that's not really the case.

Maybe because they are both adults and she was way more than just his "girlfriend"

They kouldnt have just smoked a blunt and vented or sum ? Like they had to actually take they’re last breath ?

@@keirrabruno8245 that's just a temporary fix, like putting duct tape on a tire. just doesn't hold up for long and eventually deflates anyway...

Ingrid St Pierre I like how uu think my boi ... u right

To me, it seemed like misery loves company. They are so miserable that they wanted everybody to suffer with them. I don't think that she liked that her ex-husband moved on after the death of their child. I can't think of anything more selfish then deciding that your life is over and then deciding that everybody else's is over too. She couldn't find a way to be happy and didn't want anyone else to be happy either.

This movie was TERRIBLE

Rubbish film

Seems like you’re into artsy fartsy films lol

Tyler Skeen eh those movies/anything really aren’t a lot of people’s cup of tea but they have their worth

Tyler Skeen it's produced by a24 so a lot of their films are gonna be "artsy fartsy" since they're giving chances to smaller creators with great visions to get their name out there. Besides if you actually wanted to dissect the movie you'll see that there's lots of hints that show to different interpretations of what the boy really is or if anything is even real. Plus countless amounts of symbolism with different shots in the film especially the opening scene. Like someone else said, they're not for anyone especially the ones who don't wanna appreciate good film work.
