New Delhi: Sony Pictures Entertainment launched the trailer of the upcoming horror-thriller, The Invitation, on their official YouTube handle. The Invitation will release in theatres on August 26, 2022.
The trailer shows protagonist Evie, who finds out that she is related to an English gentleman. The man invites her to his friend’s wedding party that is hosted in a manor. Evie spends a few days wondering where the bride is before realizing that the invitation was more of an audition.
The trailer hints at the involvement of Vampirs by including activities like drinking blood and the introduction of character Harker, who seems to connect the film directly to Count Dracula.
However, the last moments of the trailer see Evie running for life in a post-wedding ceremony. She is clad in a white dress and the situation resembles Samara Weaving’s character in 2019 film titled Ready or Not.
Directed by Jessica M. Thompson and written by Thompson and Blair Butler, The Invitation features actors Nathalie Emmanuel, Thomas Doherty, Stephanie Corneliussen, Alana Boden, Courtney Taylor, Hugh Skinner, and Sean Pertwee.
