Teaser trailer for Adam Wingard’s The Guest comes knocking

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The first teaser trailer for the much-buzzed about Sundance hit THE GUEST has finally come calling. Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, the team responsible for YOU’RE NEXT and A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE, THE GUEST is said to be a throwback to the fun suspense thrillers of the 1980s. The teaser doesn’t show much, but I’m already sold.

THE GUEST tells the story of a young soldier who arrives on the doorstep of the Peterson family, claiming to be a good friend of their beloved son who died in action. The Petersons welcome David into their home and into their lives, but when people start mysteriously dying in town, mayhem ensues as their teenage daughter Anna starts wondering if David is responsible.

The film stars Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe, Brendan Meyer, Sheila Kelley, Leland Orser and Lance Reddick. Picturehouse is planning a fall release.
