In New York, the brown Evelyn "Evie" Jackson (Nathalie Emmanuel) and the black Grace (Courtney Taylor) are best friends and work as free-lancers at a catering service. Grace gives a bag to Evie she got in the party they are working with a bottle of wine and a DNA kit. Evie is an aspirant ceramic artist that has just lost her mother and has no family. When she sees the DNA kit, she learns that it belongs to a company that researches family trees to locate members. Evie submits her DNA and soon she learns that she has a distant British cousin, Oliver Alexander (Hugh Skinner), who is working in New York.

He pays her ticket and Evie travels and meets Oliver at the airport. They go to an isolated manor, where Evie meets the owner, the handsome Walter "Walt" De Ville (Thomas Doherty), after a discussion with the rude butler Mr. Field (Sean Pertwee). She is welcomed by her maid Mrs. Swift (Carol Ann Crawford), by the Alexander family, the friendly Lucy (Alana Boden) and the obnoxious Viktoria (Stephanie Corneliussen). Evie and Walt are attracted by each other, and they have sex. But Evie notes that weird things happen in the mansion, and soon she finds the secret of the families.
"The Invitation" (2022) is an underrated vampire movie in IMDb. I had no idea that it was a vampire movie, and the conclusion of the story was a great surprise. Nathalie Emmanuel has a good performance and the explanation for the color of her skin for descent of a British family is given along the film, when she meets Oliver. It is hard to understand the haters of such entertaining movie indicated for fans of the genre. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Convite Maldito" ("Dammed Invitation")
