Über diesen Film

Still struggling over the loss of their oldest son, Caleb, to the war in Afghanistan, the Peterson family finds some solace when an unexpected visitor knocks on their door. David, a steely eyed and charismatic soldier who was recently discharged, is welcomed into their home when he comes to fulfil a promise he made to his fallen comrade. Siblings Anna and Luke are at first reluctant to accept David’s presence, but he soon wins them over by scoring kegs for Anna’s friends and roughing up some bullies from Luke’s school. Though he appears to be the perfect houseguest, a mysterious and sinister chain of events causes Anna to question whether David is actually whom he claims to be.

This started off fairly promising. Intrigued to find out the main character's motivation but never did! The ending is like an 80's slasher flick. Can't really say much more without explaining what happens but I watched this after seeing the 4* reviews advertised on the trailer. They must have seen a different last 30 mins!

Really liked the movie, the camera work and the soundtrack are great and the story keeps you guessing. My only complaint would be that it is sometimes a little hard to follow, but that is quashed by what a simply enjoyable movie it is to watch. Would definitely recommend to rent, but I would say it's a little hard to recommend to buy at full price because it could be very hit-or-miss.

But instead a very bad one. No plot, no good action, and that fatal "come back" of the bad guy in the end...that was shot 3 times and stabbed with a knife in his heart. Amazing
