About this movie

From the creators of You're Next comes The Guest, a pulse-pounding thriller starring Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) and Maika Monroe (Labor Day). Recently discharged from the Army, David Collins (Stevens) unexpectedly shows up on the Petersons' doorstep, claiming to be their late son's best friend. Welcomed into their home, the well-mannered stranger becomes part of the family until a shocking wave of violence raises daughter Anna's (Monroe) suspicions that the mysterious ex-soldier is not quite what he seems. Smart and suspenseful, The Guest is an action-packed blast that critics are calling "impossibly cool." (Samuel Zimmerman, Fangoria).

Perfect example of simple, effective, and brutal action. Feels like an old school Japanese crime thriller with a perfect cast and flawless directing. Dan Stevens for the win!

One of my fave movies of all time. immense score, consistent tempo (which is rare for almost all thrillers) and keeps you engaged. All actors seem to play the role down the line even though the premise has a tongue in cheek silliness that results in a film that is kind of timeless.
