Respond to ‘The Invitation’ With Theodore Shapiro’s Music (Exclusive)
This weekend sees the release of The invitation, a thriller that has won over many, including our own Trace, who calls it …a masterful exercise in unbearable tension!” Directed by Karyn Kusama (Aeon Flux, Jennifer’s Body), the film has gone through an impressive festival run and was acquired by Drafthouse films.
To give you a different taste of the movie, we’ve got two tracks from composer Theodore Shapiro. Above is “Attention to Detail” and below is “Into the Canyon”.
“Most of the score is performed by one solo violin, overdubbing layer upon layer. The bareness of the solo string for me suggests the desert terrain of LA and the emotional barrenness of the main character Will,” said Shapiro. He adds, “Craig Wedren’s ghostly vocals create a sense of haunting, and the Swarmatron is like a synthetic facsimile of a voice.
Shapiro will next be heard in Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters.
The Invitation‘s soundtrack comes out digitally and on CD this Friday, April 8th via Lakeshore Records. Mondo will be releasing a limited edition vinyl on Wednesday.

Simone Ashley (“Bridgerton”) stars as Mia, who awakens from a coma, grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions and her perception of reality.
In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
