Adam Wingard’s latest thriller ‘The Guest’ will be making its UK premiere in the next couple of hours at this weekends Film4 Frightfest in London. Now overseas distributor Picturehouse have unveiled a new US one-sheet from the flick featuring star Dan Stevens. The poster admittedly doesn’t appear overly sinister by any means, in fact it has less thriller and more of a catalogue model quality to it. Nevertheless the movie will be hitting theatres everywhere next month. ‘The Guest’ also stars Maika Monroe (‘The Bling Ring’), Sheila Kelley (‘Matchstick Men’), Leland Orser (‘Taken’), Lance Reddick (‘The Wire’, ‘Fringe’) and Brendan Meyer and is written by Simon Barrett (‘You’re Next’). Check out the new one-sheet below.
“Still struggling over the loss of their oldest son, Caleb, to the war in Afghanistan, the Peterson family finds some solace when an unexpected visitor knocks on its door. David (Dan Stevens), a steely eyed and charismatic soldier who was recently discharged, is welcomed into their home when he comes to fulfill a promise he made to his fallen comrade. Siblings Anna and Luke are at first reluctant to accept David’s presence, but he soon wins them over. Though he appears to be the perfect houseguest, a mysterious and sinister chain of events causes Anna to question whether David is actually whom he claims to be.”
‘The Guest’ opens in US theatres on 17 September and here in the UK from 5 September.
