Wow! Carver picks up Anna and informs her of her parents' death. But is he who he claims to be? What follows is an enjoyable thriller with laughs aplenty and an excellent central performance from Dan Stevens (more on that later). David is the unknown, and the empty chasm he leaves in the wake of his very existence as a character is what makes The Guest such compelling horror.

The film score was composed by Steve Moore, and includes Additional tracks (credited and played during the film but not on the official soundtrack):Some of the scenes which were edited or deleted after test screenings were scenes which explained what exactly "David" is, what happened to him, why he commits some of the acts in the story, and more details about the KPG program that he was involved in. Like in his previous film You're Next, Adam Wingard approaches plotting you've seen a million times and wittily turns it on its ear without ever being too self aware.
He reveals that David was a Sitting in an ambulance, Anna and Luke overhear the firefighters that only two corpses were recovered.

Then it just got to be in one word "DISAPPOINTING" Typical US rubbish of one side can shoot and kill from any position and the other cant shoot a barn door from 1 foot away. Was this review helpful? I watched this film due to checking out reviews and ratings on IMDb.
There was a lot of gruesome fight scenes (I personally jump watching violent scenes) but I get the reasons why they were there. Luke tells David of Anna's suspicions, but promises not to investigate any further or tell anyone else.
Happy to see their late son's friend they invite Dave to stay longer and Dave quickly ingratiates himself in to the family's affection . This film is truly awful, i have no experience of seeing the main actor in downton abbey but on the evidence of this film he needs to stick with that show.
The Guest is a quick fun time that knows exactly what it is and delivers without overstaying its welcome.Keep track of everything you watch; tell your friends.

Like in his previous film You're Next, Adam Wingard approaches plotting you've seen a million times and wittily turns it on its ear without ever being too self aware. Everything unfolds in predictable fashion, but this B material is a fantastic showcase of wicked humor and misanthropic violence. Was this review helpful? Was this review helpful?

After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.Rated R for strong violence, language, some drug use and a scene of sexuality He's all smiles and very polite, but people with a usually negative connection with this family start meeting grisly ends.

A longtime thief, planning his next job, tries to balance his feelings for a bank manager connected to an earlier heist, and a hell-bent F.B.I Agent looking to bring him and his crew down.

All is not as it seems however and slowly, despite his psychopathic charm, young Anna Peterson suspects that something is amiss. 223 out of 277 found this helpful. Was this review helpful?
In The Guest, the faceless killers made popular by the slasher films of the 1980s are replaced by the charming, friendly face of Dan Stevens, which in itself could also just be a mask, since his true identity is never revealed.
I would be surprised if …

I don't know why most movies foam in the endings but I guess in this case it is something that I'm very willing to endure for the fun I had during the first 2/3 of the film. I am so upset after seeing this and reading that there are people liking it....?? I watched the trailer and assumed it will be some average movie but I was totally mistaken.
Creepy stranger premise has been used in horror or mystery to varied effect, the latest Jennifer Lopez's flick is an example of how not to welcome this premise. I'm delighted to see they have been busy boys and actually have some other work released in the last few years that I can now check out as well.
