Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

sol1218 ***SPOILERS*** Really deep and heavy stuff here about a number of persons invited to writer/philosopher Roland Levy's, Lance Heriksen, private island for a night. A night that they'll never forget since what Roland planned for them is to relive the most darkest secrets of their lives.Having gone through a series of personal tragedies, one having his pregnant wife get killed in a traffic accident, Roland traveled the world to find out what life is all about and why there's all this suffering in the world. Roland traveled from the wilds of darkest Africa to the dizzying heights of the Himalayas, on the Indian/Napla border, to the steaming jungles of the Amazon and finally, where he found the truth, on a cold and windy slope high up on the Andes. Roland has seen the truth, a truth he want's to share with his closest friends, the truth that finally set him free. Having dinner with his guests Roland had secretly, with the help of his two houseboys Jesus & Manola(Lideo Baldeon & Michael Leisen), spiked the food. As the guests start to hallucinate and go under Roland induces them to "open up" and let it all out about the dark secrets that they kept to themselves and from everyone else including those closest and dearest to them.Whatever Roland had put into the food and drinks it starts to act a lot fasted on his guests then he expected. Before you know it two of them John, David Livingston, and Michael, Douglas O'Keefe, go into cardiac arrest and shock; John with a massive heart attack and Michael after he foolishly tried to swim to safety, and die.Back at the island Michael's wife Liza, Stellina Rusich,cracks up when the truth comes out, due to Roland's revelations, about her involvement with John whom she was very upset with when she found out that he's one of the invited guests; as well as his sleazy and criminal ventures in the stock market. Joel, Christopher Shyer, who at first thought that this whole party was some kind of joke on Roland's part starts to lose his eyesight and goes into a paranoiac fit, As the ghost of his father takes over Joel's mind and starts to remind him of how he treated him in the last hours of his life. Both Joel's wife Maria, Sarah-Jane Redmound, and Anne, Stefanie Von Phetter, start to see vision of Anne's sister who killed herself and whom they, in their minds, were accountable for her death. Joel with the help of Roland gets back to normal but is shocked to find that everyone on the island, minus Roland and the busboys, are dead and ready to be buried including his wife Maria! Angered at what Roland put him, his publisher, through as well as having his wife and friends die in this crazy game that he concocted Joel has just about had it and is about to blow his brains out, with an antique gun from Roland's gun collection, that it's then that the truth is finally revealed to him! It changes his life and what he thought was his sense of reality forever! Yes Joel finds out to his great relief that his father, whom he feared and hated, was not really the man that he thought that he was and forgave Joel for all the bad things that he did, or thought that he did, to him in the last days of his life.

lyecoatha I was going through the Starz! schedule looking for good movies to see and I saw this movie and I thought the name sounded familiar so I came to this site to check it out and it was a movie I had seen last year on the same channel. I thought it was just amazing.Here this man (Lance Henriksen as Roland) has been running from something that he feels he cannot escape. *I remember a scene where he is on a cliff,I think he wanted to die.* Then some people found him and he was given this liquid and told that it was poison and the only way to get the cure was to tell them his deepest darkest secret. After that his life changed dramatically, he was a free man with no regrets.So Roland invites his friends over to his home and at dinner he tells them of his experience and then tells them he put that liquid in their food or drink. He does this because he wants to give them a chance to be free, he does this out of love. It's a messed up thing to do but I understand why he did it. And he helps each one of them to get past their pain, or their guilt and regrets.It's a wonderful movie I hope you watch it and feel the same way too.

autmntoashes I really liked this movie. It had a great story line and though some elements of the story seem unlikely and weird they are true. If you liked this movie then i also recommend My little eye. This movie isn't a crazy thriller about a guy that lost his mind and tries to kill his friends it is a story of secrets and lies that everyone has and keeps. Even though some things in the movie are not completely explained it still is a modern day tale of morals and a real release of the mind. After I first watched it it really made me think. It stayed in my mind until I got the movie. Then I watched it again with my brother and it really made me look at him and what he may have done. After you see this movie you will look at the people around you in a whole new light.

George Parker "The Invitation" is a B-flick from the get go. Telling a silly story about a man (Henriksen) who invites a bunch of friends to his island home only to poison them and hold back the antidote so they'll have some kind of near death experience or life altering epiphany or whatever, "The Invitation" starts off like a B-flick, ends like a B-flick, and everything in between is claptrap B-flick drama with poor performances, an awful story, psychodramatic overtones which don't work, a hidden agenda ploy which is utterly ridiculous, and huge plot holes which aren't even spackled up with titilators. Watch for this one on broadcast....so you can miss it. (D+)
