Great soundtrack, and as alejandro_mhr says, it doesn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed every moment of it. It was just the senseless action-filled movie I was looking for. The performance of Dan Stevens noted itself for me, and I'll be watching him further! Great acting, great pushing of limits.

Very fun movie. Dan Stevens is great at playing the super nice and creepy ex military man. The soundtrack is great too.

This movie was just freaking amazing and I can't recommend it enough to people. It is the love child of John Wick, Jason Bourne and Jason Voorhees. Haven't seen a film in ages that has truly made me want to watch it over and over again.

I love this movie. The music is great, the action is great, somehow it's really funny, and Dan Stevens is just amazing. I loved his performance in this. He was so polite and charming. And then he killed people. And I liked it. I'll be watching this movie a lot in the future!

8.5/10. If you’d pitched me a showdown between Matthew Crawley from *Downton Abbey* and Lt. Daniels from *The Wire*, I would probably be on board, but I don’t think I could ever have imagined it would be this cool. But that’s sort of the trick of *The Guest*, a tremendous and intimate thriller More

In terms of tone and pacing, _The Guest_ is a little bit all over the place.

But in terms of plot, script, narrative, acting, setting, score, soundtrack, characters, intrigue, effects, humour, rewatchability, entertainment value and originality? Yeah. Pretty much nails it.

_Final rating:★★ More

'The Guest' is a surprisingly fun throwback to 1980s horror. It boasts a thumping soundtrack and quick cuts that really fit into the theme of the film. The exaggerated scenes of violence and gore may be a bit too strange for those who do not appreciate the sentimentality and nostalgia of the movie.
