The sweet reason behind Outlander reference in new supernatural horror flick The Invitation

Outlander is one of the most iconic romance fantasy shows of recent years, skyrocketing the careers of leads Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan and creating a global fanbase.

A reference to the show in a supernatural horror film may seem slightly out of left field for some fans but, the reason is now explained. The Invitation follows Evie, played by Nathalie Emmanuel, try to discover her familiar roots where she meets her long-lost cousin Oliver, played by Hugh Skinner.

After their meeting, Oliver takes Evie to her newfound family as they celebrate a lavish wedding in the English countryside, where she will be seduced by the sexy aristocratic host. However, things aren't as they seem as the wedding turns into a survival nightmare, with a key nod to the historical fantasy show. But all Outlander fans are interested in is why Evie is wearing a t-shirt with the name of the hit Starz show on it, and what it symbolises.
