'THE INVITATION' Bites Down On "PG-13" Rating For “Violent Content” and “Partial Nudity”

The upcoming, Dracula-inspired, vampire flick, ‘THE INVITATION’ will be sinking its teeth into theaters on August 26th, 2022 and today the Screen Gems flick has been given a “PG-13” rating by the MPA.

Jessica M. Thompson directed the upcoming horror movie and has been rated PG-13 for…

“Terror, violent content, some strong language, sexual content and partial nudity.”

Described as “a contemporary horror thriller,” The Invitation tells “the story of a young woman who is courted and swept off her feet, only to realize a gothic conspiracy is afoot.”

That “gothic conspiracy,” it turns out, involves blood-drinking, with Evie drawn into a world of vampires. This is very much a Dracula tale, only with a fresh new twist to it.

Here’s the full plot rundown…

“After the death of her mother and having no other known relatives, Evie (Nathalie Emmanuel) takes a DNA test…and discovers a long-lost cousin she never knew she had. Invited by her newfound family to a lavish wedding in the English countryside, she’s at first seduced by the sexy aristocrat host.

“But Evie is soon thrust into a nightmare of survival as she uncovers twisted secrets in her family’s history and the unsettling intentions behind their sinful generosity.”

Nathalie Emmanuel (“Game of Thrones”), Thomas Doherty (“Gossip Girl”), Hugh Skinner, Sean Pertwee, Courtney Taylor, Alana Boden, and Stephanie Corneliussen star.

Blair Butler wrote the original script, with revisions by Jessica M. Thompson.
