Reviews

Variety - Dennis Harvey
The Guest is blood-soaked action trash of a high grade.
80
Empire - David Hughes
Mainstream audiences may find this too oddball to appreciate as a straight thriller. But tune into its strange frequency and there is much to enjoy — perhaps even adore.
80
CineVue - Ben Nicholson
Stevens is excellent both as the cordial house guest and the brooding time- bomb ever present beneath his earnest veneer.
80
Time Out London - Guy Lodge
The Guest is not new, exactly, but Wingard knows just which buttons to push, and he pushes them with gusto. Stevens, meanwhile, has never been better.

Total Film - Matt Glasby
Cool as you like one second, camp as Christmas the next, this entertainingly overpumped action-horror will have genre fans (and their mums) grinning from ear to ear.
