The Invitation (II) (2022)
3/10
Ready or Not knock off
28 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's like a melodramatic highschool girl wrote a garbage vampire AU fanfic of "Ready or Not".

Which wouldn't be too bad. That could be campy good fun, gaping plot holes, convenient deus ex machina, zero-surprise bad writing, and all.

But our female lead, Nathalie Emmanuel, renders it almost too embarrassing to endure at times. Imagine a combination of the worst traits of every pompous American, oblivious liberal arts major, "eat the rich" self-righteously jealous poor, 5th wave feminist, "artist" rolled into a single person, who also enjoys pulling the race card. She's less a character, and more a collection of checklist items focus groups said will appeal to about 10 different (conflicting) demographics. You will cringe so hard you risk having a stroke.

Unless you're an angry teen girl, (or want something extremely predictable and find cringe hilarious instead of mortifying), you should pass.
