Movie Reviews

Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "Stevens is mesmerizing as the avenger, helping director Adam Wingard turn THE GUEST into a blast of wicked mirth and malice." - 09/18/2014 Rolling Stone


"There’s a touch of early James Cameron in the heavy artillery of the second half, while everything from the synth score to the autumnal atmosphere evokes the best of John Carpenter." -- Grade: B+ - 09/16/2014 A.V. Club


"As one of the sharper young horror directors working today, Adam Wingard likes to take familiar genre setups -- the serial killer or the home invasion -- and warp them just enough to pique our interest. " - 09/16/2014 New York Times


3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]here’s no doubt THE GUEST is something of an homage to the schlock classic horror films of a generation ago....This is something wonderfully weird and warped." - 09/16/2014 Chicago Sun-Times


4 stars out of 5 -- "It’s largely thanks to Stevens’ mesmerising performance that THE GUEST exerts an equally compelling influence over audiences." - 08/29/2014 Empire


4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here’s an indecent amount to enjoy here: sensitive central performances...whetstone-sharp dialogue, some big laughs and a synth score that pumps like blood in the ears." - 09/01/2014 Total Film
