What the corpus says about The Invitation (2015)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished The Invitation (2015) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about The Invitation (2015) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:37:03 · Sean Fennessey (0.60)] The Invitation ↔ Starry Eyes · programming · Starry Eyes makes a good double feature with The Invitation for anxiety and terror. · "Starias in particular is a nice double feature, I think, with the invitation"
[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:22:43 · Chris Ryan (0.90)] The Invitation ↔ Rosemary's Baby · lineage · The Invitation, like Rosemary's Baby, is a realistic situation that keeps getting altered until pandemonium. · "that's the movie that I would compare it to in terms of this is a relatively realistic situation that just keeps getting altered more and more"
[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:32:54 · Sean Fennessey (0.75)] The Invitation ↔ Green Room · theme · Sean puts both on his runners-up list and says they belong in a separate category called terror. · "I think that those 2 movies should almost be recategorized into what we might call terror."
[The Big Picture · 300th Episode Ask-Us-Anything Mailbag Spectacular · 0:39:25 · Amanda Dobbins (0.90)] The Invitation ↔ Karyn Kusama · craft · The Invitation's dread of not knowing what is going on is what Kusama would bring. · "I was thinking about the invitation and, um, the kind of not really knowing what's going on and the dread of it all"

[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:24:58 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] The Invitation ↔ Zachary Quinto · what-if · Originally the leads were supposed to be Zachary Quinto and Topher Grace. · "I think originally the people in this movie were supposed to be Zachary Quinto and Topher Grace."
[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:25:23 · Chris Ryan (0.40)] The Invitation · fun · Chris thinks it has one of the most satisfying final shots, the red light. · "Also features maybe the single most satisfying final shot to me."
[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:45:29 · unknown (Alexander or Karaszewski) (0.30)] Kill List ↔ Green Room · theme · Kill List has more in common with Green Room: a masterpiece that is more discomfort than horror. · "Killist, I think, has more in common with green room."
[The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:37:20 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] The House of the Devil ⇒ Starry Eyes (the host's read) · lineage · Sean suggests House of the Devil as the godfather of these slow-burn B-minus horror films. · "Would you say House of the Devil is the godfather of those movies?"
[speaker] Sean Fennessey · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Resident Evil’ Absolutely Rips! · Loves gory, funny, fast genre movies with craft and confidence, especially 87-minute films that never overstay. Can't stand ponderous elevated horror that fills out its runtime with introspection and sad family history. A sucker for the Carpenter-era lineage, Die Hard homages, and directors who break studio dogma. · stances: Resident Evil is one of the best films of the year; Horror movies have become a drag; fun genre experiences are needed; Short running times are a virtue; Video-game films work best when great filmmakers get creative license
[speaker] Chris Ryan · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · A franchise and genre scholar who likes Jason, the early sequels, and Manhattan; attention to trivia, tropes and critic reception. Treats slashers as a canon with tiers. · stances: Parts 1, 2, 4 and Manhattan are the good ones; The series finds its legs at 4
[speaker] Amanda Dobbins · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Mamma Mia!’ Meets ‘The Strangers'! It’s a Movie Swap! · Loves The Strangers' withholding craft and a good tense horror film without gore, but likes fun, communal movies like Mamma Mia. She dislikes supernatural or gory horror, which irritates her more than it scares her. She is a sucker for stars and for Googling a movie mid-recording. · stances: The Strangers is scary because of what it doesn't show or explain; Ending explanation weakens it; no answer would be better; Prefers 'withholding' filmmaking; Defends Mamma Mia as joyful and intentional
[bits] The Big Picture: Drafts (Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument); Hall of Fame (A star's or director's best, ranked and argued); Countdowns (Ranked lists, top five or top ten)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with The Invitation (2015); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend The Invitation (2015) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
