| MySpaceKristen Yoonsoo KimI honestly can't remember the last time I had this much fun at the movies, so I'm just gonna come out and say it: This is my favorite movie of the year. |
| CinemoleAlistair RyderDo yourself a favour and go watch The Guest now. Why wait until it becomes a cult classic? |
| The ListEmma SimmondsStevens visibly relishes every second of his blue-eyed bad boy's screen-time; it's a brilliantly perverse casting coup enhanced by Barrett's devilish dialogue, while Wingard directs with flamboyance and precision. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldWingard's flick is an affectionate knock off - the kind of film that should really be on VHS and three day loan for a pound fifty. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyStevens has a great ability to turn on the charm in one moment, then drop it and go deadly serious in the next, and the way you're never sure what's actually coming out of David is one of the film's pleasures. |
| The Young FolksGabrielle Bondi...[Dan Stevens] plays wholesome, aloof, seductive, dangerous, psychotic... He nails every single beat. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaThe Guest makes a strong case for Wingard as our next great action director. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniThe filmmakers don't bother hammering home a backstory or explaining why David is crazy. They just throw us in the deep end and dazzle us with a series of violent encounters that ends with a deadly chase in a surreal fun house maze of mirrors. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussA worthy heir to the horror traditions John Carpenter and Joseph Ruben, whose 'The Stepfather' provided the template for this story in which a figure who should be worthy of trust insinuates his way into an all-American family with deadly consequences. |
| OregonianJeff BakerA horror movie that pokes fun at itself and still gets the job done. |
