I’d been a big fan of @adamwingard ‘s 2011 Horror/Thriller crowd pleaser “You’re Next” so by the time his next big project came around in 2014, I was honestly so damn hyped yet still made an admirable attempt to put my anticipation in check for fear of disappointment.
My fear was unfounded.
The Guest was arguably even cooler than what came before. I don’t use the word cool sparingly without reason, cause or justification..but because this movie is best defined by exactly that, it’s innate coolness. This is one of the many reasons I enjoyed this movie so much which also includes but is not limited to some fantastically violent action scenes, an absolutely brilliant soundtrack, a fun, albeit slightly over the top narrative and a tense, invariant, slick and captivating performance by @thatdanstevens . Further to that @maikamonroe also gives a really fun performance as the warey Anna.
Wingard and Cinematographer @rbaumgartner also use some wickedly entertaining and stylish neon infused visual sequences which feel in line with the energetic pulse of film and the movie itself often feels like a bit throwback to that 80s style of thriller, less grounded and slightly more ridiculous…but even more fun.
I’ll be honest, I had a really good time with The Guest and even years later I have been waiting patiently for it to arrive on 4K blu ray, which @secondsightfilmsofficial have just recently released ..and it’s surely on my Christmas list.
For fans of a fun thriller, with some sexy visuals, sexy synth and well, sexy people…(I mean they are)…The Guest is absolutely for you. I loved it.
And that soundtrack though…
