Who Invited Them sets itself up nicely. An attractive couple shows up uninvited to a party and lingers around long after the other guests have left. The hosts seem to be taken in by them. You place your bets with your friend or spouse quickly. A home invasion thriller or a twisted cat-and -mouse story? One of you wins the bet. Both of you ask "Is that it?".
The film relies entirely on borderline menacing banter and little action of consequence until it is too late. And when the action come, it is underwhelming and unintentionally funny.
The film's final act while understandable in terms of the characters' intent is ultimately pointless and showcases lazy writing.
This could have been exciting, witty and terrifying. Instead, it is just a fluff piece.
