No. Just... No.
Will and Eden broke off their marriage after the tragic event of their son dying and them facing many psychological problems in dealing with it. Now, after two years of no contact, Eden and her new husband David come back from their 'communion', but more rightly called a cult, in Mexico, with two of their friends, and host a dinner party. They invite all their old friends, including Will, who haven't even heard from them in all these years, in order to reconnect. And believe me, this isn't a dinner party I would like to attend.
Will knows from the beginning of the evening that something is wrong, but cannot quite place his finger on it. And it's no big thing even recognizing that something is utterly wrong. You're extremely uneasy throughout the movie, because the behavior of the people is just way too awkward to take in. Eden and David try acting very spiritual and telling others how they're so happy now, but instead they come off as mysterious and just plain irritating, with them trying to be hospitable but certainly no one feels comfortable. Especially Will, who snoops around their belongings and even goes through their things on their laptop to look for something without knowing what he's really after. Their beliefs don't even make sense, nor are explained properly. And till the last 20 minutes of the movie, it's still really just a dinner party with something wrong waiting to happen, the whole thing honestly making me uncomfortable. The worst part of it was the game they play, their version of 'never have I ever', called 'I want'. It leads to some extremely weird confessions and sexual advances, and one guest even leaves at that point. Honestly, I don't know how the others didn't leave.
Psychological thrillers are supposed to send you into a thinking phase, make you want to find out more about the movie. I'm always excited to find out about hidden meanings and murders don't really disturb me. This movie, I just wanted to get done with. I only got through to find out what's actually wrong.
