I've been putting off writing a review of this movie because I'm not sure I can properly explain how much I love it. Sometimes you watch something that seems as though it was made specifically for you, you know what I mean? Like the writer, director, the cinematographer, the editor, the actors: everyone got a peek inside your brain and tailored their work to whatever would best amuse and delight you. You know how sometimes you read a book and you love it so much that when you get to the end it's like you have to go through a grieving process to let it go (a book that I had that experience with: Stephen King's 11/22/63)? Sometimes movies hit you that way, too. For me, The Guest is like a beloved friend. Like a friend I've told my secrets to, and they accept and love me, anyway.
