The Guest

We were Bexleyheath bound again tonight for dinner at Frankie & Benny's followed by a trip to Cineworld. Toni was absolutely delighted to be given this:

After the noms it was off to see The Guest. It's a reasonable plot. David is the perfect guest. Friendly and helpful, this young soldier arrives on the doorstep of the Peterson family, claiming to be a good friend of their beloved son who died in action. The Petersons welcome David into their home and into their lives, but when people start mysteriously dying in town, their teenage daughter Anna starts wondering if David is responsible.

The film itself wasn't bad at all. It moved along at a reasonable pace and the story built well. It felt like a  no frills movie but it was good. There was one part that was a bit silly but it did settle down again after that. The ending leaves it open for a sequel although I am hoping that they'll leave it as it is as it works. I guess that decision is down to how much it makes. It's not a "must see" but is definitely worth checking out on DVD or from your preferred choice of streaming company.
