I’m quite interested in seeing this movie, but a bit worried about just how violent it is. I can cope with a fair amount of violence, but if it’s prolonged or really gratuitous, it’s really not my thing. Anyone planning on seeing this? Could you report back? 🙂 ---

Yep, I think 'The Guest" opens wide October 3rd. I saw the directors last movie “You’re Next” and that was great. . . It was violent and realistically bloody. Very good tension and effective plotting that kept me guessing. I expect “The Guest” to have similar qualities. ---

Oh! It’s already open here in the UK, I didn’t realise the US would have a later release date. Well, if you do go see it, let me know what you think of it!
