Dan Stevens' 2014 thriller 'The Guest' worth rewatching ahead of 'Onslaught'

Full text

With the theatrical release of Backrooms came the trailer for Adam Wingard 's upcoming film, Onslaught (which the internet graciously received several days later). More exciting than Wingard having a new non-franchise film in the works is the news that he's once again paired with screenwriter Simon Barrett . The partnership, which previously enriched genre fans with some off-kilter (and really excellent) movies like You're Next and, more importantly, the underseen 2014 genre-clashing thriller-action-horror film The Guest . It's a film that's great on its own because it's the funniest movie that isn't a comedy and has some great action scenes without being an action movie, but it also seemingly could have connective tissue to make Onslaught be a potential spiritual sequel, if not a direct follow-up.
