Adam Wingard the director of this movie Previously did: You're Next and the short films from V/H/S 1&2, but now he direct's his new film The Guest and this is one of his best.
The story is about a soldier comes the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. But as a series of accidental deaths occurs, the welcomed man soon turns into a suspect.
Before seeing this movie I known nothing about it. I haven't heard anyone talking about it so I pretty much went in with a open mind knowing nothing, and after viewing I can say that The Guest is freaking amazing and brilliantly flawless with one of the best soundtracks I heard since the 2011 movie Drive.
Dan Stevens did a outstanding performance as the nice guy that has a dark and uneasy side to him, which Stevens nailed that and I would love to see him in more movies. The rest of the cast did really good as well.
The soundtrack in this movie is just so beautiful to listen to, and it may be the best soundtrack I've heard since Drive and all John Carpenter movie soundtrack. The soundtrack had that 80's and 90's nostalgic feeling to it which made the movie and the soundtrack even more awesome. No words can describe it, it should be viewed by people who love nostalgic music and movie lovers.
The cinematography and the writing in the movie was just top notch and this has to be the biggest surprises of the year for me, because I wasn't expecting how fantastic and well done it was. I'm not going to give it the perfect rating as I thought I was going to give, because I don't this movie was "The best movie ever made", no it's really not, but still this movie is awesome.
