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!

There isn't anything particularly original about the concept behind the guest but the movie is so well directed and engaging that it becomes very captivating. Adam Wingard shows that the outstanding You're Next was no fluke. Dan Stevens pulls off a challenging role as a charming young an with a lot to hide.

The movie had a lot of potential. Up until the hour mark it portrayed characteristics of a great movie, but the story started falling short after he killed Anna's friend Craig and his "contact". Instead of bringing in the corporation that's hunting him, they could have twisted the plot by revolving the story around the dead soldier and connected more to the subject. It left too many holes in the story. But like I said it also had some good aspects to it - especially the acting and the cinematography... The writing on the other hand, seemed like they rushed it off and that ruined a movie that had great potential!

What I loved about The Guest is that it doesn't take itself too seriously and that's exactly what made it such a fun ride.

There's no logic here and there's a feeling of pointlessness when you start thinking about the film's plot, but it was very entertaining and suspenseful nonetheless.

Dan Stevens gave a hell of performance and I loved how the director tested how far the audience was willing to remain sympathetic towards the main character.

I was super disappointed by this. As a fan of Dan Stevens I'd been meaning to see this, but put it off for a while. The first third of this movie was pretty intriguing and I thought it was going to be an interesting spin on the horror genre. Unfortunately, about halfway through [spoiler]it becomes a generic slasher movie[/spoiler], and by the last 20 minutes I had totally lost interest. I still watched the whole thing, but I feel robbed of my time.

I really wish this movie turned out differently. It feels like a waste of a perfectly good setup.

Best soundtrack ever! All the mood is kinda original and darky in my opinion.

This is the one of the best psychological thriller film I ever watched and immediately became one of my favorite films.

Dan Stevens plays "The Guest" with about as much charisma as I can remember from any recent film lead. From moment one, the guy is as cool as can be. The guest's name is David and he is a mystery, but he is awesome in every imaginable way. From helping kid's with homework to carrying multiple kegs of beer to a party, David is nothing short of amazing.

The first half of this film is great but as David devolves into something else, so does the movie. The action scenes really fall flat and the climax is a cliched chase through a fun house. Believe me, you've seen it before. The ending really doesn't close up the story. That's okay with me, but the other person I watched this with was annoyed by it.

Even with those faults, I would definitely recommend this.

This is a wild ride. It surprised me on my first watch years ago. It's on Showtime and I was very eager to revisit. It's ridiculous and dumb in an endearing way. Despite having elements that I've seen million times before, it somehow feels fresh and I like how it goes from horror mystery to violent action thriller to outright silly slasher. There are more than a few scenes that utilize neon lighting and synth music to create an interesting style. I really like how the lead character is so mild-mannered, making his violent outbursts more intimidating. Great stuff.

What a great metaphor for how the military industrial complex sells itself to Americans by promising to deliver whatever they want while actually is ripping families apart and destroying us all.

Awesome soundtrack!
