Filmed in LA and Joshua Tree, California.
The feature film directorial debut of Devin Lawrence, who was quoted saying: “This was supposed to be a horror film. Straight horror. Easily identifiable. Quickly categorized. But as the story developed, something stranger emerged: a genre-bending psychological thriller dark comedy that doesn’t fit neatly in one box. The Disinvited is disturbing, funny, relatable, and thrilling…we invite the audience to watch it and let us know whose side they’re on. And who would be their +1. And if the Devil likes cookies.”
Described as a “darkly comic, gritty, horror-tinged thriller.”
Dark Star Pictures released The Disinvited on VOD/Digital on November 18, 2025.
