The good:
All 4 actors nailed their role. This is especially true for the "uninvited guests". They really fed off of each other.
Humor. This wasn't a scary movie. The director kept it clever and embraced the ridiculousness.
The bad: You could see the ending from a mile away.
I kept thinking things would ramp up into a wild finale. That never came.
It was beyond implausible and, at times,, you'll find yourself rolling your eyes.
Overall, I do recommend it, though. The acting alone makes some of the silly moments less silly and actually quite amusing. If you're looking for scares, however, this is not the plsce.

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.
The movie is not bad. I did enjoy it.
It's surely not a horror though, don't know why put that tag. It's straight up a thriller.
There's nothing flashy about it, it's all set in the same place and you see where it is going from miles away. I guess it's not claiming or pretending to be any kind of great or genius stuff. It's simple and it's probably something around something you already seen before. I sure did. Still there's something about it that kept me watching.
I guess, I liked the actors and the characters, and the ending is well played, abrupt, but makes sense. And yes, one other thing, I believe it was light. You know, like there are many high tension, pressure thrillers, dark, gory, violent. This one it not like that. It's like a dark comedy, although comedy is lacking, but in a sensible way, because comedy tends to make movies unserious and ridiculous. This one remained sensible.
It's like one of those movies that you watch during your lazy Sunday. It's not for Friday eventings.

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.
This is a dark comedy. It is not scary though neither funny. A better description is dark (offbeat) comedy. Still it's intense and kinda entertaining. It didn't bore me. Actors were very good, ending is satisfying, script didn't have plot holes. Nothing is unexplained here, there is no ambiguity.
I can not recommend it though because it is not a MUST WATCH movie. It is not very interesting/original/creative. But i cannot also not recommend it. If you have a lot of time to spent, maybe you will not regret watching it. It is not a bad movie. Not very good either. It's watchable and somewhat interesting. Ending is good. I predicted a lot of things watching it but not the whole ending entirely. There are some minor surprises about characters motives. I think that every character here is being portrayed well, nice work by the writers. Although, some characters' mood changes seem unnatural and forced.
