Profanity: While not overly used, mild to moderate amount of profanities are used throughout. F*ck, including a few motherf*ck, and sh*t is used.
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Teens are seen drinking alcohol at a bar and a party.
Many characters are seen smoking pot during the movie, both from a joint and a bowl.
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The main character has a certain mysterious intensity that is seen through most of the movie, which can be frightening when he 'snaps'.
Story: A soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.
Likes : First thing i can say is this film is pretty bad ass, stylist & intense through most of the film, Dan Stevens who plays David delivers a gob smacking, intense & pretty frightening performance as a mysterious but charming visitor who claims to be a friend of the family's son.
What clever is right from the start you can see thing thing is going on but it dosent reveal to much to quickly which give you this impression he there to ive protect them from someone or something isn't right it keep you guest right up to the point the film reveals it self this is where the action kicks in.
Best way i could describe this film is Imagine an episode of something as nuanced, understated and gripping as an episode of Homeland gradually turning into something as darker, humorous and comic book-esque as an episode of Dexter. Throw in some action set pieces with some intense moments this would describe this film.
Maika Monroe playing the the oldest daughter Anna Peterson put in a great performance as the problem child growing up around the bad boy scene who seem to be suspicious of David, she dosent quiet trust him her performance playing this role is very believable.
Some time thriller aren't really my cup of tea because they are sometime slow & can get a little boring but this film caught my attention through the whole film because it got every thing a thriller should be well paced film, great action moments, some what creepy dark intense moments that make you think who is this guy which made this pretty much a bad ass film from start to finish, because it keep you hooked.
No C.G.I effect and reference-heavy, from the towering title font to the moody synth score which kind of fitted the end scene, this is a direct throwback to those late-'80s/early-'90s domestic stalker thrillers like. The Hitcher, Cape Fear, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Sleeping with the Enemy et al all loom heavy, along with countless movies with words like "Fatal" and "Deception" in the title. At its best it's like John Carpenter in his ruthlessly efficient heyday of making film's.
The first two thirds of the film are an engrossing and surprisingly plausible slow burn, before events surge inexorably toward the pyrotechnic.Overall this is superior, B-movie, and far more inventive and darkly witty than Adam Wingard's previous film, the strangely overrated You're Next. This is a film i Highly recommended.
Dislikes : Only flaw's in this film, is it not truly understood why the main character goes to the family's home & what truly happened to the family son, other than that the film is really good.
Overall : inventive and darkly witty, intense & frightening moment pretty good story.
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.9 out of 10 for storyline.
