Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

simon-414 This film has all the potential to be a cult classic. The director has clearly studied 70s and 80s cult movies very closely and incorporated all the right elements, but that's exactly the result; a pastiche thats trying really hard to be cult, but ends up failing because of it. There are some great moments, but the plot is incoherent, stumbling from camp thriller to psychedelic slasher with no sense of direction. The same goes for the acting, which ranges from tense and serious to deliberately hammy. Overall, this movie is a mess. It's not unwatchable, but it's extremely irritating, as it could have been so much better.

MrSneakyman Sneak This movie was pretty good. It's like watching a young MacGruber kicking ass and shooting with guns at people, and always staying in control of the situation..

James Director Adam Wingard's lack of interest in convention chimed neatly with Dan Stevens's desire to distance himself from "Downton Abbey" in the weird and not-so-wonderful piece of film-making that is "The Guest". As I noted in my less-than-fulsome review of the (2015) film "The Boy Next Door", "The Guest" - or rather Stevens's portrayal of that guest, bears quite a striking resemblance to the work of Ryan Guzman as Noah in that other (apparently later) film. Sporting a serviceable American accent (somewhat recalling that of Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes), the Brit Stevens appears as David, who starts off by bringing such joy and enrichment to - and a kind of justice on behalf of - a mourning family, that it is all the sicker (and ultimately all the more implausible-looking) when he later turns on said family, which he kills and/or terrorises, in the course of killing and terrorising pretty much everyone else too. Of course, he can't actually help it because - in the second film that emerges out of the cocoon of the first - he is actually a "modified" soldier programmed to kill everyone around him once the safeties are taken off. That is a message that could be offered deeper treatment (as it is somewhat more so in films like "Morgan"), but not too much so in this film.Do I need to say more? The film is violent, at times a bit erotically-charged and all-in-all rather pointless, though one cannot exactly say it is badly-acted. For my money, Maika Moore does especially well here, while poor old Lance Reddick (again playing a somewhat Broyles-like part) hardly gets into his stride before being bumped off. Stevens himself is OK.

Gurcan Ozdemir I just can't believe some of the comments here. It's a totally predictable movie with no horror, thrill or action whatsoever. It's a wonder how it got this rating. You've probably seen hundred more movies with the same plot so just save your time and do anything else rather than watching this movie.The only interesting side of the movie could be the music. That's all
