Invited

This horror short film portrays a couple who have recently moved into a new residential area. They've been invited to a community welcome dinner hosted by their neighbors. However, it soon becomes clear that the couple is dealing with a recent family-related challenge. While she is still grieving, he seems more ready to move on.

The unresolved issue continues to cast a shadow over their relationship. As he enjoys the dinner and socializes with the neighbors, she grows increasingly unwell and unhappy with the event. But little do they know, the neighbors are hiding dark secrets that will have a profound impact on the couple's lives and their attempt to settle into the community.

I think the short film was reasonably well-made, but the twist was somewhat predictable. There are so many hints leading up to it that by the time the reveal happens, you've already been expecting it.

A couple in crisis of relation. As solution for save apparences, the visit to their new neighbors. For lady, all is more than strange to creepy, from food to conversation. So, the refuge in wine seems the only reasonable option.

For her husband, from taste of food to the subjects of conversation , all is reduced at adaptation.

The end defines, in precise terms, the difference in couple and part of sources of troubles in relation. Like the confirmation of a tensioned moments of talk truth.

The film seduces for realism, from one of beloved subjects of conspiracy theories to the different life style of neighbors, not always easy to be accepted. And sure, good point is represented by acting.
