The Guest

“A transcendent comic chiller, when The Guest's characters are in peril we actually care, and Wingard respectfully makes the kills clean and quick.”

Amy Nicholson, Village Voice · 100

“It's Stevens, as the all-American cover-model mercenary both friendly and fatal, who gives The Guest its literally killer personality.”

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times · 90

“Mr. Stevens’s watchful restraint gives the early scenes a slow burn and a sinister glaze.”

Manohla Dargis, The New York Times · 90

“The filmmakers don't bother hammering home a backstory or explaining why David is crazy. They just throw us in the deep end and dazzle us with a series of violent encounters that ends with a deadly chase in a surreal fun house maze of mirrors.”

Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer · 88

“The coat of irony helps when the film takes a major pivot in tone, and Stevens is unnervingly placid as the corn-fed terminator.”

Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly · 83
