Review of The Guest

The Guest (I) (2014)
4/10
A movie with no core shouldn't even make it to theatres.
6 August 2021
Movie producers should think twice before spending a budget on a movie that has no core whatsoever. What I mean by core is what movie is basically based upon, relying on, the bedstone idea that is the pillar for the movie.

The Guest however fails to mark itself as a rememberable movie by missing the biggest thing of all: What's the point of the movie.

The start was very rushed, acting was off. The director didn't even give us a chance to get into the movie but he slammed the idea of the guest right in our faces but I was gonna be kind of alright with it if the movie had any importance at all. But it failed to deliver, failed hard.

The acting was way off for most of the characters, felt like they're being paid in half to do it, except for the boy and the mother. The main character (David) seems to be forcing his cool guy persona since minute one and it was very cringy and annoying to look at. (Totally not the actor's fault, it is all bad direction).

So bad direction at almost everything literally: Plot, Casting, Audio Producing, Choice of Music, and the overall storyboard. Everything feels so amateurly done and this is definitely one of the worst movies I have seen.

I will be forgetting this movie within the next few hours. I don't recommend this to anyone.
