The gruesome, blood-soaked direct-to-video slasher picture Angus Valley Farms concerns a now-defunct cattle ranch in eastern Oklahoma where a spate of brutal slayings occurred, years prior. As the story opens, the very name "Angus Valley Farms" has become synonymous with carnage and horror - something of a contemporary urban legend. A group of student filmmakers travel to the site to shoot locations and reenactments for a documentary of the events. In the process, these innocents unleash an eviscerating horror that transcends their most depraved nightmares. Jeremy Isbell directs from his own original script; the film stars Isbell, Zuriel Noveskey, Tosha Jennings, Sara Shoulders, Travis Azbill and Nicole Bassinger.
The Invitation takes a creeping look at two simple premises: reuniting with forgotten friends and new-age spiritualism. Though one seems a bit scarier than the other, the film heightens social awkwardness to a macabre level that puts an uncomfortable look on when the social taboo of grief is put on public display.
