Review of The Guest (2014) by Ralfbergs — 24 Jun 2022
Maybe it was the seeing trailer which spoiled too much for me. The first part of the movie starts well, given the outcome and if I haven't seen the trailer if would have felt really surprising about what happens next, but most scenes felt predictable.
Also, spoilers ahead, I would have rated it around 7 if not for the stupid plot points towards the end - with the kid thinking the guy is his friends so not bothering about him being a killer and snitching on his sister - that was just what the F - made the kid look completely dumb suddenly.
Ok if that kid would be very very young or something, but he was at age where should understand risks here. And then towards end when the special forces or whatever came to get the main guy - they go at their house and shoot it up, without caring that inside there are innocent people.
Like as easily it couldve been that he didn't kill them, but the bullet strayed and killed the woman. Yes he was meant to kill everyone and leave no trace eventually - but at that point he did not know yet, that they are coming and haven't started doing any of that.
For me they could've pulled it off better and made it much more interesting overall. If not for these parts, I would give it 7.
