According to The Latch, Jessica said, “I’ve loved vampire films and horror films from a very young age. I felt like this was a take on the genre that I hadn’t seen before, and that I wanted to explore with fresh eyes. Also, it was putting that contemporary spin on it as well.”
In other words, anyone who’s looking for a vampire love story similar to what we’ve seen in Twilight won’t exactly find that in The Invitation. This story is far more haunting.
