Happy Halloween : Invitation To Die (2014) short review

Invitation To Die (2014)

written by John Klyza & Dustin Ferguson

Directed by Dustin Ferguson




Invitation To Die is a 2014 film wriiten by Dustin Ferguson & John Klyza and directed by Dustin Ferguson. 

After receiving an ominous message via a fortune telling machine, Brea ( Breana Micthell ) is invited to her 10 year high school reunion.  Driving to the address given in the invitation, she stumbles upon a creepy dilapidated building.  Investigating the abandoned house, she is stalked by a clown mask wearing killer ( Jarad Allen ).  Who is the killer chasing and tormenting her?  What is the link between her nightmarish pursuer, the deserted domicile, and her past?








Invitation To Die is another excellent collaboration between Dustin Ferguson and John Klyza, who both made the amazing films: Doll Killer (2013), Cheerleader Camp: To The Death (2014), and Silent Night, Bloody Night 2: Revival (2015).  It is a moody retro throwback to classic slasher tropes and shot on video films.   A character piece filled with a quiet, eerie atmosphere, unique pacing, great utilization of locations, and artful shot / lighting compositions, Invitation To Die is a microbudget masterpiece perfect for Halloween viewing. That's just my opinion. Your's may differ.
