Damn.<br />This would have been even more fun on the big screen than watching it at home.<br />Clever, violent and funny thriller which is right up my alley. Loved all the things Patrick mentioned in his review.<br />I was surprised by how easily convincing Dan Stevens is playing the opposite to his kind of douchebag character in the wonderfully soapy Downton Abbey. <br />I saw him going violent before in A walk among the tombstones, but that was a supporting turn (and in the german version he was dubbed with a very inappropriate voice).<br />Maika Monroe was also very good. I had to look after her at the IMDB but until now I only saw her in The Bling Ring of which I don´t remember that much.<br />I still haven´t seen A horrible way to die but after this and You´re next I really look forward to Wingard/Barretts next film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-33296478407497400082015-02-13T17:15:38.815-06:002015-02-13T17:15:38.815-06:00I just love how life works on occasion. I had been...I just love how life works on occasion. I had been trying to find "Erin's Song" for You're Next for months, since the song they have in the climatic scene is absolutely scintillating. <br /><br />Finally someone posted it on Youtube; they were unable to cut out the dialogue, but now every time I listen to it I get to hear Erin jamming the blender on Crispan's head. <br /><br />Anyway, I read a remark in the comments section saying how the song reminds them of Zombi, who I had never heard of. So I listened to a few of their songs (Escape Velocity being the one similar), and they were absolutely marvelous.<br /><br />After a few days I found out Steve Moore (the lead band member) for Zombi (named after Romero's Dawn of the Dead (of course) did the music for The Guest, which of course was electric itself. <br /><br />Now I need to check out his other movie called Cub, which also sounds quite interesting: Over-imaginative 12 year-old Sam heads off to the woods to summer scout camp with his pack convinced he will encounter a monster...and he does.<br /><br /><br />Alex Hopenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-9953187271851536382015-01-20T14:17:01.210-06:002015-01-20T14:17:01.210-06:00I just saw this too, and truly, what an interestin...I just saw this too, and truly, what an interesting, awesome, clever treat.

They are not doing themselves any favours with that poster - I committed the terrible sin of judging this book by its cover and dismissing it as straight to DVD garbage. Though I was vaguely aware of a new Wingard/Barrett joint being out I didn't even realize this was it - presumably I would have figured it out eventually but still, thanks man! Just like your review of <i>You're Next</i> I'm sure you've turned me on to an eventual new fave!<br /><br />P.S. Never would have thought Downton Abbey was for me but after blind-buying a Season 1-3 blu-ray set for like $20 I finally got to it and I'll be damned if it isn't pretty great. It's hard to quantify - on the face of it, it's nothing but a period soap opera with a good production values, but somehow it's much more than that.
