The Guest, the modern cult classic thriller starring Dan Stevens (Abigail), is airing on TV tonight (Saturday, 25 April).
In the 2014 movie, the actor plays David, a recently discharged US soldier who heads to New Mexico to visit the grieving family of one of his fallen comrades.
Appearing charming and polite, David tells the family he made a promise to his deceased friend to take care of his relatives.
The ex-soldier is welcomed by most of the clan, including the parents (Leland Orser and Sheila Kelley) and their teenage son (Brendan Meyer), who invite him to stay a few days in their home.
That said, 20-year-old daughter, Anna (Maika Monroe, Longlegs), remains wary of David. The longer he hangs around trying to "help" the family, it becomes clear that she is right to be suspicious.
Co-starring the late and great Lance Reddick (The Wire) and inspired by '80s and '90s stalker thrillers like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Single White Female and The Stepfather, The Guest infuses a fun and familiar sub-genre with some extraordinarily cool vibes.
This is thanks to the film's pulsating soundtrack of electronic/goth '80s-style music, its New Mexico desert vistas, its stylish hard-hitting action set-pieces, and its effortlessly charismatic lead turns from Monroe and Stevens.
Holding a 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie continues to find new fans to this day, with many calling for a sequel.
The Guest is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning on the channel Legend at 1.35am. It's also currently streaming for free on the service Plex.
