positive · AI labelView post →It's true. Adam Wingard's new A24 movie ONSLAUGHT is a stealth sequel to THE GUEST. Same universe. Same town. Wingard explains, "The idea is that the secret programs we’re seeing going on here are other aspects of the same thing David’s character came from in The Guest."

positive · AI labelView post →I've been on a big soundtrack kick lately. What are some of your favorite movie soundtracks that go unreasonably hard? I'm not talking about score, but licensed music. The Guest and Empire Records are usually my go-tos, but I want more. GIVE ME YOUR SUGGESTIONS.

positive · AI labelView post →Top 3 best movie soundtracks of all time: 1. The Guest (2014) 2. Josie and the Pussycats (2001) 3. ???
positive · AI labelView post →When I saw this trailer in theaters I got excited cause it feels like a movie that's *at least* set in the world of The Guest--a movie I absolutely love--even if it's an indirect sequel I will be stoked. Either way I'm a fan of Wingard & Barrett so I'm there with bells on youtu.be/L24CYVpQ-LI?...
positive · AI labelView post →Dan Stevens is RoboCop! The Guest and Downton Abbey actor will play Alex Murphy and his cyborg alter ego in Prime Video’s RoboCop series, based on the MGM movie franchise. Read more: www.empireonline.com/tv/news/dan-...
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve had the biggest crush on him since The Guest, a movie in which he plays a murderous psychopath. No need to look deeper into that.
positive · AI labelView post →I wrote about FRANKENFISH (2004), a very silly but also fun monster movie from the writer of YOU'RE NEXT, THE GUEST and GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE. More at BD: #HorrorSky #FilmSky

positive · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched The Cycle-well done Yesterday-OK The Guest-Dan Stevens so that's enough You Can See Everything-excellent!
positive · AI labelView post →I've already got my ticket for Onslaught, I rewatched The Guest a couple weeks ago, and now I'm going to revisit the first film in this Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett trilogy
positive · AI labelView post →Watched a film called The Guest last night and for the first 40 or so minutes Dan Stevens just does a bunch of unhinged shit while being sexy as a sleazy, drugged-out synth soundtrack blares and honestly, shoot it straight into my veins, I was kinda sad when we had to have plot. 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →Lance Reddick was an incredible actor and a fantastic human being. I was watching a movie called "The Guest" (2014), and the moment Lance showed up, it got me so hyped that I wanted a series of films with his character as the lead ON THE SPOT. He was charming, smooth, and I miss him.
positive · AI labelView post →Last four watched 🎀✨ It’s been a weird one! I passed my 100th movie for this year though (The Guest) #letterboxd #filmsky #lastfourwatched
neutral · AI labelView post →Guess which film I watched with my daughter. Hint: It wasn't The Guest. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
neutral · AI labelView post →Strong look for Dan Stevens in his new film with Adam Wingard (The Guest)
neutral · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #145 "The Guest" (Adam Wingard/2014) Excellent film about a soldier who shows up on one family's doorstep claiming to be a friend of their dead son. Shit gets hairy real fast. Dan Stevens = UK treasure. Check it out!
positive · AI labelView post →here's my latest commissioned review, this time of a movie I'm quite fond of--Adam Wingard's gonzo thriller THE GUEST:
positive · AI labelView post →I will say I see how we got there; in the Muppet SHOW, there was the Guest Star as the main human presence, and there are frequently only 1-3 HEADLINING human performers in a Muppet movie, but otherwise, the Muppets are usually thoroughly outnumbered by humans and that's part of the magic!
neutral · AI labelView post →What are some of your favorite movie soundtracks? 1. The Guest 2. Suspiria (1977) 3. Suspiria (2018)
positive · AI labelView post →THE GUEST (2014): Ended up with a pretty full crowd, which made the experience exponentially better. No film exudes coolness quite like this one, and the crowd ate up every single Dan Stevens line reading.
positive · AI labelView post →📽️ Got my order of Shudder movies! 😍 I also got the Severin ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS box set because it was on sale and THE GUEST on Blu-ray since I adore it & upgraded my DVD. Final horror movie tally: -ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS Box Set -SKINAMARINK -IMPETIGORE -THE GUEST -TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID -MANDY
positive · AI labelView post →THE GUEST (2014) still slaps. Feels like anything can happen watching that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →William Goldman famously said "Nobody knows anything." (He's right.) I think of that when THE GUEST comes up, because I have rarely been so sure of anything than I was this one simple fact: the movie would make Dan Stevens into a *huge* star. Well. I maintain that it deserved to. And that it ROCKS🔥🤘🏼
positive · AI labelView post →A breakout star from It Follows, The Guest and Longlegs, Maika Monroe gets a strong leading role in In Cold Light, an absorbing thriller streaming across the US this week. CODA's Troy Kotsur and Helen Hunt co-star in a tense, emotional story of a woman wronged. 4/5 film-authority.com/2026/02/25/i...
neutral · AI labelView post →#Letterboxd #Lastfourwatched #Letterboxdfriday ##Filmsky Jack-O was bad. Bad acting, unimpressive deaths, poor story Weapons was creepy and good The Faculty is great. This was a rewatch The Guest well down but gets a little bogged down towards the end.
neutral · AI labelView post →Join us tonight at 7pm at the Stray Cat Film Center for our special Halloween screening of THE GUEST!
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder for The Guest fans that Adam Wingard has always wanted to make a sequel, and even released a soundtrack to the movie-that-doesn't-exist in 2022, which is also filled with synth-y, atmospheric goodness. (I have this record- this is from the Mondo website, but it's on Bandcamp & Spotify.)
neutral · AI labelView post →101. The Guest (dir. Wingard, 2014). "What if Michael Myers was Captain America" is such a fantastic pitch for a movie, an underrated slasher-thriller that fits at home on Halloween and the 4th of July.
positive · AI labelView post →you've inherited a movie theater—what's your first double-feature? The Terminator The Guest
neutral · AI labelView post →#letterboxdFriday #filmsky #LastFourWatched The Princess Bride is one of the best movies ever made Spiderman proved i can still like an MCU movie The Guest was an awesome throwback style flick I Want Your Sex is the type of movie I want to show younger people who think sex is this bad thing
positive · AI labelView post →Share a great movie or %V scene that takes place in a restaurant 📽️📺🍽️ **SPOILER FOR THE GUEST, DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT** I love this scene because it's equally horrifying and hilarious. And the Tommy Page song is an absolutely perfect button, **chef's kiss**
positive · AI labelView post →I can’t explain it but The Guest is the most male bi-curious action movie
neutral · AI labelView post →In case anyone wants to listen to me and Mister Movies talk about The Guest. I had the pleasure to interview the director in the DMs and ask him a ton of questions, he was great: podtail.com/podcast/mist...
neutral · AI labelView post →A rogue supersoldier action-horror movie by Adam Wingard, starring Dan Stevens and shot in ABQ? I refuse to believe this isn't a sequel to The Guest
neutral · AI labelView post →Waiting for Guffman is my all time number one favorite film, and Sheila Albertson is my favorite character. What Catherine O’Hara did in the Guest/Levy oeuvre was unreal, but her Guffman performance is comedic heaven. youtu.be/fggXs7oIP7Q?...

positive · AI labelView post →this week on Rodent Reflections: a review of Adam Wingard’s new film Onslaught, a return to the action-horror territory of The Guest that has good intentions but tragically few ideas capybaroness.substack.com/p/under-the-...
neutral · AI labelView post →122. The Guest: Trailer for Onslaught had me curious about this spiritual prequel. It's decent, but left me wanting a little more from it. 123. Mamma Mia!: Pure camp to the tune of ABBA's greatest hits; this movie rocks.
neutral · AI labelView post →Take a look at the movie that has the whole world saying “is this in the same universe as THE GUEST?”
neutral · AI labelView post →Just bought tickets for a double-feature of IT FOLLOWS and THE GUEST on Saturday at the Philadelphia Film Society. It’s been a minute since I spent an evening at the movies, so I’m excited to get some movie theater mojo back.
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched The Guest. The characters in this movie are very very stupid, but this movie is so entertaining. And Dan Stevens 👀
positive · AI labelView post →**** if you haven't seen The Guest imagine if peak John Carpenter wrote, directed and scored the greatest Lifetime Original Movie ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Now seated for THE GUEST at Film Society Center, and there’s only one other person here. We just shared a brief exchange about how surprised we are. Kind of a bummer, Philadelphia. (This is why the cool kids go to the movies by themselves, though.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching THE GUEST and A) obviously it rules on so many levels, and I’ve loved it since I saw it at SXSW 11 years ago. but also 2) I’ve seemingly memorized most of the dialogue
positive · AI labelView post →Morning! Listening to @princeis.me, @fredericknuti.bsky.social, and Mae chat about THE GUEST on a new episode of @knightlight.bsky.social #HorrorMovies #podcast
neutral · AI labelView post →Really missed an opportunity for The Host and The Guest to be the same movie from different points of view.

neutral · AI labelView post →So hype to see this today. Adam Wingard doesn’t miss, and “You’re Next” and “The Guest” are two of my favorite horror films of the last 20 years. #Onslaught
positive · AI labelView post →My post about ONSLAUGHT got lost last week, but I was lucky enough to be in the first audience to see Adam Wingard’s new movie last week (thanks to @ahouseingotham.bsky.social) and it rules. He takes the HALLOWEEN influence in THE GUEST to its logical endpoint with a brutal slasher/siege flick.
positive · AI labelView post →Decided on a whim to watch The Guest tonight and lmao what a movie
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's first movie is The Guest (2014) 🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →The Adam Wingard who made You're Next and The Guest is BACK! Unfortunately, he forgot to give his new movie a satisfying conclusion. The titular Onslaught really doesn't arrive for the main character until pretty late in the movie so the resolution ends up feeling very abrupt and flat.
neutral · AI labelView post →Redux Redux is the kind of awesome B-movie sci-fi thriller you used to have to learn about from the cool employee at the video store. Like The Hidden. Or, from this our current post-video store, The Guest. It’s sharp, relentless, and well acted. Check it out on Hulu.
