The Guest

The Guest (2014) - IMDb


An edge of the seat thriller filled with suspense, anxiety, and jitters. Made by talented filmmakers the film is a completion of a curious plot and timely finishing. The first half builds up really well only for things to explode in the second. All hell breaks loose and the stealth factor that feels really well in the first half disappears way too hastily. Well written lead characters keep things always at a high tension level and make an overall groovy and genial experience.

Highs: Build and suspense creation is good while it lasts. Most scenes end really well and finds good timing. Dialogues are stealthy and subtle. Even with a blown over the top script, the well put together elements of the film keeps the plot intriguing and well explained.

Lows: The second half is way too excessive and unnecessarily disproportionate. The ending is redundant and even though it tries hard but fails to create an impact.

Rating: 3.5 stars
