8/10

In terms of tone and pacing, The Guest is a little bit all over the place. But in terms of plot, script, narrative, acting, setting, score, soundtrack, characters, intrigue, effects, humour, rewatchability, entertainment value and originality? Yeah. Pretty much nails it. Final rating:★★★★ - An all round good movie with a little something extra.
