When six of Roland Levy's friends accept an invitation to dine on his private island, they know it will be an extraordinary evening. Roland fascinates his guests with stories of his recent travels and the spiritual awakening he experienced in the Andes. Roland then reveals that he has poisoned everyone, just as he was poisoned before having his own epiphany. In order to get the antidote, each person must confess to the lies they have built their lives on... or die!

You gotta be kidding. I just WASTED 2 hours watching this dreck. This movie is a bore, and the main character is supposed to be some kind of guru who has found all the answers? It is a muddled mess, and never fleshes any of the characters out (you never really find out what their secrets are except in bits and pieces). I immediately rated the movie "HATED IT" on Netflix. This movie tries to be everything it is not. And what it is is Terrible.

this is a movie you see say huh then never go back to its not really glaringly bad but like i said its not one i watch all the time in fact iv only seen it one time and i knew the "twist" when i read the back cover and at the end i was like OK then i popped the subsequent movie on my to watch list and never gave it a second thought from what i can remember six people go to a old friends island (by the way if your friend whom you haven't seen in a long time do to personal problems all of the sudden has a island and invites you over ummm blue flag?) and gives them some kind of poison and tells them they have to reveal something or some crap and by the way if you don't see the "twist" now 1 your kinda stupid and 2 im not going to ruin it for you (by the way sorry for the people that didn't get it maybe you just don't watch a lot of movies.....or tv.......or read books) but yeah the more i talk about this movie the more i dislike it so im going to end it now if you got some money to blow and some time to kill go ahead but if you want a really good movie or some kind of hidden gem this is not for you
Peace

An author, after coming back from a sabbatical, invites six of his friends (three men, three women) to his island paradise. The only way on and off the island is by boat. During dinner he tells them of his intimate travels to Africa and Peru.
He went on sabbatical because he had recently lost the love of his life and had become thoroughly depressed. He wore his depression on his face but would not share it. In an effort to release his pain a shaman he meets on a mountain top poisons him to help him release his pain. In his mind he died up on that mountain and was reborn.
When his guests start to become shaky and nauseous they realize their host has poisoned them as well. This does not have the desired effect he expected, especially after one of them drops to the ground a few minutes later with no pulse. Hysterical anger ensues.
I really enjoyed the movie and came upon it immediately from a comedic perspective rather than a psychological horror one. I also knew it would be a B-movie. Lance Henrikson played the lead character (although you don't see him for the very first 10-15 minutes) and had me in stitches with his quirky looks of disbelief and knowing smiles.
Some of the supportive actors were a bit stereotypical and over the top. In the beginning Lance had said their secrets affected everyone else at the table but I didn't see a complete weave with everyone. Some scenes were definitely better than other ones and it was predictable. If you can catch it on tv, rent it or find it in the discount bin go for it. It is comical.

I guess that I realized it in the very beginning of the movie. When Lance Henriksen is the star and there are no other recognizable names or faces, maybe that is a cue that you might want to see something else. As a mystery, it does not work because what is going on becomes painfully clear pretty early in the movie. I do not feel that it is fair to blame the actors, who incidentally do not distinguish themselves. But, who could make something out of this simplistic yet muddled mess? It would have been somewhat interesting if we could make some sense of each character's epiphanies, but they are so garbled and unclear that there is never any payoff. And, on top of that, the ending (I shall not give it away) was contrived and trite. An almost complete disappointment.
Rated by buyers -
THE INVITATION's premise is fairly simple: Lance Henriksen stars as a man who invites eight of his friends to his remote island getaway. In the spirit of TEN LITTLE INDIANS with somewhat of a twist, he informs them that he has been "born again" and also, by the way, he's poisoned each of them. He will give them the antidote if they all confess to some hideous secret they all share that involves each other. The script is so shoddily written, however, that it takes a long time to fully understand just what it is each of these people have done. Also asks the question, who died and made Lance Henriksen God? He says he's doing it for their own good, to allow them "freedom in their lives". His method of freeing them however is ultimately cruel and sadistic; also the ending is predictable and the little dog is the clue to the esoteric climax.
An unusual premise given shoddy treatment. Henriksen does fairly well, but the rest of the cast is only average at best. Don't expect a horror movie, just a philosophical psychobabble.
