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.

If you mix The Terminator + Halloween + Bourne Identity all together you get The Guest and it is a fantastic movie. Throw in a 80's soundtrack to rev up the intensity of the film and of course Dan Stevens character David who throughout the movie your trying to discover all the mystery surrounding his character and it all comes together perfectly filled with Action, Scares and even some very funny comedic moments. This film knows what it is and for me its a perfect 99 Minute action thriller.

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.

Great thriller come horror and a great remedy for much of the recent Hollywood dross out there right now. I doubt it will win any Oscars but this is an intelligent thriller with a stand out performance from Dan Stevens who is an effective terminator/Jason Bourne character. Borrows heavily from the styling and soundtrack of Drive but to great effect. Has the feel of a future cult classic.
