Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens Shines in New Trailer for The Guest
Mike Tyrkus
The official US trailer for the new thriller The Guest from director Adam Wingard was released exclusively on Yahoo! Movies. But you can see it right here on CinemaNerdz.
From the director of You’re Next and featuring a standout, badass performance from Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), comes The Guest: a tense, action-packed and unpredictable film like everything and nothing you’ve ever seen before. Empire Magazine called it “a demented action-horror hybrid of sci-fi conspiracy thriller and gore-fest,” and Vanity Fair said, “The Guest is big, it’s bold, it’s badass, full of flavor Hollywood wishes it could pour over its vanilla blockbusters.”
ABOUT THE FILM
