Prom Night meets The Bourne Identity by way of a classless Drive? I wasn't prepared for a movie that is very, very clearly geared towards an audience that is younger than I am. Hey, you know what I like about people that are younger than me? Nothing.

Start out strong but becomes increasingly ridiculous after the halfway point, with the climax taking place in the slashermovie equivalent of a fireworks factory. I'm not sure if I should excuse the cliches like 'bullied high school kid' and 'alcoholic loser dad' just because it wants to be an 80's throwback. ..Ahhh screw it, I was engaged throughout, enjoyed the editing and music, plus it features Lance Reddick being amusingly badass. Stevens carries the movie like a champ. A scary, scary champ.

I'm a sucker for government-engineered supersoldiers, and the Guest delivers. Grows exponentially ridiculous as it moves from act 1 to 2 to 3, but that and the crunchberry-flavored black humor are what make it so much fun. Kind of reminded me of that documentary "The Imposter" about a guy who pretended to be a family's long lost son...but this movie was more believable.

Felt like an undercooked and underdeveloped suspense movie that certainly knew how to deliver the suspense, but never figured out how to resolve it. That's half right on the equation, but I felt like it was too left in the dark in the end. If you like it that way, then there's not much else to dislike here, but if you like tidy resolutions, this will leave you wanting.

The Guest will definitely prove to be one of my favourite films of 2014. I really enjoyed Adam Wingard's slasher 'You're Next' so I had high hopes for this. Dan Stevens gives one hell of a cool but incredibly creepy and sinister performance. And the humour and script intentionally pokes fun at the 80s. There's so much fun to be had with this film. From nods to films like The Terminator, to the B-Movie production values and the John Carpenter styled 80's score, The Guest satisfyingly delivers.

It was amusing for this viewer (who knew nothing about the film going in) that the first 40 minutes are filmed exactly like a midday telemovie, before the big shift into craziness. To be sure, it evokes 1980s horror movies, but the premise and narrative are more like a cross between CAPE FEAR and UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, with a touch of BOUDU SAVED FROM DROWNING.

An amazing wink at 80's horror slashers, "coming home" war movies, and the comic book genre all slyly interwoven. There are moments with Dan Stevens that you feel like you're watching Chris Sarandon in Fright Night. He's got that unnerving handsome/creepy look down pat. The synth soundtrack and the ending set up in the weird halloween maze in this is definitely evocative of the 80's. It's not the most original film but it is extremely fun.

It's rogueish and brutal, fun, funny, and disturbing. The filmmakers have delivered "Drive" as a dark cartoon that feels lifted from 1995. Despite some objections to the actions of certain characters, this is a fresh thriller with a twinkle in its eye.

Genre fans rejoice! I like that the movie (tonally) doesn't try to mask that these situations are fucking weird. I like that it's obviously so self-aware -- in all of its cliches and moments of silliness, it carries purpose. Maybe that's me WANTING to like this more than it being objectively GOOD, but whatever. I'll take how a movie FEELS over so-called objectivity any day, and this movie FEELS awesome. "The Guest" is among the most gloriously-indulgent movies I've seen this year. Awesome stuff!

A very strong start but with a cliched and lackluster ending that doesn't resolve the only thing I cared about: the motive! What the heck happened to motivate the protagonist? The dumb explanation offered doesn't solve the problem of motive. With better writing, this could have been 100/100.

Whereas You're Next subverted the tropes of the home invasion horror movie as much as possible, The Guest kind of sticks to its cliches. The action is high-adrenaline but not nearly prominent or distinctive enough to heighten the material, and the '80s stylization adds no nuance to the rote plot, and in the end it only exacerbates the feeling of numb pastiche. It has its charms, most of which were more present in You're Next (black comedy, over-the-top action), but in the end it's fairly hollow.

Adam Wingard & Ti West are the closest thing to Tarantino in horror. Their films are master classes in of themselves, bursting with signifiers. They are post-modern smart alecks, highly attuned to the texture of the films they like and able to reflexively and critically analyze the genre in the same vernacular, producing works that function as commentary on film history while remaining true to their precursors' original spirit. Just a matter of time before they produce their Pulp Fiction.

When I wasn't hating it, I kinda loved it. I imagine it's the same way for a lot of people, judging by the reviews. Not a lot of Tiers 4-6 here. I didn't know Dan Stevens before but whoever this guy is, he brings it here, nailing the "aw shucks, ma'am" stuff brilliantly. As in "It Follows", Monroe shines, and you can tell, she's gonna be something and soon. And there you have it -- a review of "The Guest" that doesn't include the word "synth" or the numerals "8" or "0". Wait...oh, goddamnit!

As of late there's been a resurgence of campy genre movies that long for that vintage 80s look yet remain very much a part of the 21st century...and The Guest is another example of this phenomenon. More of a comedy than a thriller, this movie is colorful, violent, tongue-in-cheek, and filled to the brim with implausibilities and idiots doing dumb things...all while Killer Mystery Soldier goes on a rampage for reasons completely unknown to the viewer. Yeaaaahhh, elipses...

Ok, I willing to admit that this film has some serious flaws, especially the last act, but I just loved it, warts and all. The main character is just so fucking cool, and then the synth, oh my god, the synths... Figuratively speaking, this film gave me a boner, which is probably an awkward thing to say, but fuck it, I love the 80's. I feel like already re-watching it, and I rarely re-watch movies at all.

Stevens was awesome in the lead; so charming. The movie itself is 80s like Drive (but campier), with its style (especially later on) and badass synth soundtrack, but it's also compelling because it goes from a tense thriller, to a minor Sci-Fi government conspiracy movie, to a campy, slasher flick. It's sure to not please everybody, especially as it goes straight 80s later on, but the mixture of tone, influences and genres worked hard for me.

A small movie, with no real ambitions to attempt to be bigger than it is. It's a serviceable thriller, with a hunky and fun bad-ass antagonist. The cliche of the everyman turning out to be the most lethal man in America is done in a fun way here. The climax is sort of well-done, and a bit different for this genre, but it also comes across as ridiculously predictable.

Enjoyable thriller-horror Jason Bourne (but probably closer to reality since Bourne would likely go psycho). The bulidup was decent and I immediately noticed the sound cues and gorgeous women in a small town. The quick production led to some weaknesses in the plot. It's mindless action, but sort of wasted potential since the second half was all cliche and telegraphed tropes. Dumbest brother ever when he gave away the sister's plan to David. Fav scene: poor tactical takedown at the house.

This is pretty damn good. Dan Stevens turns in a magnetic, awesome performance & while the rest of the cast isn't quite as good they're still enjoyable. The Leland Orser sighting was neat. Sharp, unrelenting, & stylish with enough substance to balance things out. Once things start to get explained it gets a little silly, but not necessarily in a bad way. All said, a very tight & very enjoyable horror/thriller that's well worth checking out if it looks interesting. Not huge on the ending, though.

Top badass moment? I thought this was a documentary about Airbnb. Then a new Halloween film. Then a Terminator movie. Then a Universal Soldier flick. All of which means I probably ought to read the sleeve before watching something, and not drink too much. Anyway, instead it was about a junkie soldier with great body, who dislikes bullies but likes guns. And the government want to kill him, or something, for some reason. It kept me entertained anyway. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

Quite entertaining and slick - it could almost be a prequel or sequel to Drive, such is the thematic and stylistic similarity. Stevens is an arresting screen presence, and imbues many scenes with tension. The supporting cast act realistically, and provide moments of levity too. Ultimately the script is unsatisfying because it leaves so many loose ends unexplained. The final third becomes a little too imaginative and spoils the psychological buildup. But genre is really all Wingard knows...

A hugely enjoyable and immersive home-invasion thriller, that eventually gives way to some glaring plot holes and preposterous character motivations: 1. Attracting attention to oneself by picking bar fights while trying to keep a low profile (in fact, make that: attracting attention EVERYWHERE) 2. Not visiting that plastic surgeon immediately when he clearly had the money for it,... I was enjoying this film, but it just got sillier and stupider as it went along.

If you choose to watch this film.. you did the right thing. Don't feel bad. Great looming undertones of dread, smash cuts, sense of humour & soundtrack. Looks like the industry found its Paul Walker archetype surrogate in Dan Stevens. Wingard builds on the 1/2 way tempo change concept he explored in You're Next with a greater outcome. Will keep an eye out for his/ Barrett's next project.

Viewed January 20, 2015. An homage to 80s horror that seems not to realize what it is that was so great about guys like John Carpenter, David Cronenberg and Brian De Palma. The movie has a number of lame, overly violent and poorly shot sequences set to (an admittedly enjoyable) soundtrack of 80s and 80s-inspired music. It feels like the music and the neon colors are supposed to make up for the lack of anything interesting happening. It's a dud.

The Guest, an ever evolving movie ringing its rosie around various cinematic tropes, extremely predictable twists and turns and a laughable amount of cheesiness changing itself constantly from mystery, thriller, action, government conspiracy to a tint of horror near the end.

For those who have a soft spot for the “stalker” sub-genre of tacky TVMs, it’s fun to see one polished off and given the A-grade treatment – the screenplay never goes quite where you might expect, but it’s the spit and polish (and incredible soundtrack) that elevates and makes this memorable. Special mention has to go to Stevens’ award calibre, wolfishly charming, ultimately chilling Terminator impression; good work by the supporting cast as well. Great fun, if you can read between the lines.

By the end of The Guest I wasn’t sure if I had unintentionally watched a comedy. The first half is a standard thriller, accompanied by tension building music, uncomfortable silences and unsubtle close-ups. At the 45 minute mark, the main character goes off the rails and so does the movie. Heightened action and an unhinged plot make for a silly yet compelling end to the film. Stevens delivers a good degree of smarmy charm and everyone, the audience included, is just along for the ride.

In an absolute surprise for me, I loved this movie. I cannot say enough about the acting of Dan Stevens (David) and Maika Monroe (Anna Peterson). The Guest was steeped in 80's nostalgia, a self awareness that sometimes took its horror story premise to dark humor, and even ventured into the territory of campiness at times. The kicker: I loved every minute of it.

The Guest is a great thriller that feels modern but has old school sensibilities. Dan Stevens is great as 'David' & Maika Monroe puts in a good performance as 'anna'. The soundtrack for the film is great and makes the film that much more fun to watch. Definitely worth checking out.

Reminiscent of Cabin In The Woods in that it's a self-aware attempt at a humorous mashup of the many influences it wears on its sleeve, but suffers from too much infodump-exposition in the end (comparisons to Drive are mostly spurious -- this is similar only on a superficial level); has more of a B-movie feel due to the (lack of) budget, especially near the conclusion (which I wish had been even more ambiguous). If you liked "Cabin", or so-bad-it's-good cinema, considering giving this a shot.

This movie is delightfully bonkers. The first two acts would have you believe it's a straight-faced thriller. But the third act pulls away the curtain to reveal what kind of movie it really is - an homage to less self-aware movies like it. The lead actor is mesmerizing, the soundtrack is killer, and the finale is a thing of beauty. It's rare that a movie makes me say "what the fuck" out loud while laughing nervously.

The Guest marries a disturbing central performance, a classic old premise and an 80s soundtrack to make a thriller like no other. It's an experience; a hard sell on paper but a definite success on screen.

Intentionally trashy cinema, dipped in candy, thrown into nuclear waste, and set to 80's synth pop.

I'll leave a light on for this guest. I really enjoyed this movie. Yes, it does have some TERRIBLE moments in acting and a few redeeming moments of acting as well... but man, this movie was a lot of fun. I love how Dan Stevens balanced the line of being a really good and caring guy and a cold blooded killer. Maika Monroe once again gets on my radar and I think that she needs to be in more films...

There's a lot going for this movie. With some really cool cinematography, a nice cast, and stellar soundtrack, The Guest is everything you loved about the 80's. However, it feels dull and boring most of the way through. It plays out pretty much like standard, minus a few sequences. The tension building is good but never over the top amazing like some other movies I've seen recently. It's quite good, but I feel like I was over-hyped for this.

The tension is diffused early. Many inconsistencies undeservedly pull down the movie.

Really, all you need to know about this movie is that the soundtrack uses fucking Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft during the final confrontation. A fine follow-up to "A Horrible Way To Die", building a very effective retro-thriller feel in the first hour. After that it gets a bit... well, More Of Everything, and not necessarily in a bad way. Carpenter fans, look closer.

Have you all gone mad? This is the most ludicrously ham-handed piece of writing and acting I've seen in a while. This is what a Lifetime For Men Movie of the Week would look like.

Was really enjoying this. . . then the last half hour suddenly went ridiculously, unbelievably stupid. It seemed like even the acting took a downturn. What the fuck happened? The soundtrack however remained excellent, and Dan Stevens' last line and thumbs up was so dumb I cracked up.

D grade content with A grade presentation. This confused concoction is like a bad 80s thriller but with impeccable production values. It loses its way in the second half but is never once dull.

It's decent for a while, but the main character's motivation seems to get really muddled and confused over time. It's like the plot dictates his goals as it needs to advance. And it seemed to be trying really hard to channel Drive, pretty much throughout.
