Review of The Guest (2014) by John H — 28 Dec 2014
Adam Wingard's latest film offers visceral thrills and heart-pounding action sequences. Dan Stevens plays 'The Guest', and is masterful in his portrayal of the mysterious ex-soldier. Maika Monroe is also present in the supporting cast, and is equally splendid.
The twists and turns that take place as the film progresses are hauntingly magnificent. The soundtrack is reminiscent of 2011's Drive, and is mesmerizing. The Guest makes the viewer invest in the main lead, but provokes intelligent questions while simultaneously providing classic 80s horror.
The neo-noir vibe is well displayed, and all these aspects of the film make The Guest a fantastically entertaining thrill-ride.
