Do not be surprised if people find themselves second-guessing the nature of every visitor who comes knocking at their doors upon going over "The Guest" review.

With a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Adam Wingard's psycho-horror thriller has successfully brought to mind the age-old precaution of being wary of the people you trust - specifically houseguests.

NY Times revealed in its "The Guest" review that although the film tackles a familiar genre, it has successfully reinvented it. In so doing, the creators succeeded not only in making it their own, but they have also transformed it into a substantial viewing material that captures, holds and keeps the viewers' interest.

LA Times has provided a concise brief of the story in its "The Guest" review. British actor Dan Stevens takes the title role, playing the character of a charming but cryptic stranger who suddenly appears during the funeral of the Petersons' son who died in combat.

The family welcomes him cordially after he introduces himself as a combat-mate of their fallen son. Soon he eased himself into the lives of the Petersons by showing genuine concern for the children. However, the daughter Anna sensed something amiss and started researching into his past - and that prompted the wolf to stop playing sheep, thus jeopardizing their quaint, little community.

According to the LA Times, Dan was so effective in his role. He lent a powerful personality to his character - a destructive blend of sociability and insanity.

Film Journal singles out the genre movie as an intelligent home-invasion heart stopper with clever twists infused in the tightly wound script. Like the other reviewers, they were quick to commend Dan's exceptional portrayal of his role. Overall, "The Guest" satisfies viewers' every fancy, keeping them glued to the edge of their seats until the end credits roll.
