canan S @Canan5001 5d This was painful. It was slow and made no sense as to his motives, and then when you find out they are so paper-thin you couldn't roll a joint with it. I almost turned it off, but decided not to because I was morbidly curious about how they were going to polish this turd.

Unsatisfying + the 80s--style music was a bit irritating. :( See more Donny W @DonnyBlanco Jul 25 Good story concept, great acting, and a very good turn as a psycho military lab rat by Dan Stevens. For a lower budget production it hits well above its pay grade and is definitely worth a watch. In my top 15 of all-time best serial killer movies.

No spoilers but I feel like they did it a certain way for nothing and they really didn’t have to. Nevertheless, I still liked the tension throughout the movie and how it kept building and building throughout it. The premise and how the plot was executed was entertaining and I feel like this would’ve made a good thrilling book too! The cast acted pretty well!

See more grego0331 A @Greg0331 Nov 26 The Guest is a stylish, deceptively simple thriller that feels like a blast of ’80s neon wrapped in modern precision. Dan Stevens is the engine of the film is cool, charming, and unnervingly controlled delivering a performance that shifts effortlessly from polite houseguest to something far more dangerous. Director Adam Wingard uses synth-heavy music, bold color, and sharp pacing to create a vibe that’s equal parts suspenseful and fun, keeping you hooked even when the story leans into its wildest turns. What makes the movie work is the balance between its unpredictable tension and its self-aware swagger. It’s not trying to be a grounded military mystery; it’s embracing the energy of a throwback action-thriller with a horror edge. Stevens elevates everything, turning a simple premise into a standout genre ride. The Guest is stylish, memorable, and just a damn good time. See more Read all reviews
