Verdict on Who Invited Them
Who Invited Them is a horror thriller that sees two couples spending the night together, getting to know each other. As they believe they are new neighbours, giving homeowners a chance to get welcomed to the neighbourhood.
A lot of the story is about seeing how the two couples will reveal secrets to each, in a way that you might do with strangers. There is something uneasy about what is going on, which does leave things simmering for the most part.
The performances between the four leads are good, with the conversations needing to flow in a natural way between strangers at a party.
Where to Watch: Who Invited Them is available on Shudder.
