The Guest - 2014 ****


Yes! I loved this slow burning thriller. Dan Stevens plays a mysterious individual who turns up on the doorstep of his dead fellow soldier claiming to be his close friend. The family take him in and feel connected to him as the last link they have to their son. Only their rebellious daughter played intensely by Maika Monroe has doubts when certain things don't add up with his story, despite how charming he initially appears to be. I loved this build up in suspense, the soundtrack, the acting and the general feel of this movie, and Dan Stevens is obviously going to be a massive star, although I've seen him in nothing else so far!!!
