The Perfect Host
(2010) ***1/2
I would have rated this 1/2 star higher if things didn't start to unravel due to too many twists in the last half hour. I don't want to say too much about the movie either as it's really best to have no preconceived notions going in. So here's my first shortened review:
John Taylor robs a bank, his getaway does not go as planned and he ends up smooth-talking his way into a house where the host is getting ready for a dinner party. What happens after that is crazy, violent, funny and showcases David Hyde Pierce at his most awesome-est.
In fact, both performances - John is played by Clayne Crawford - are really excellent.
Not super scary, but well worth the time.

sounds intriguing!
Wow, I just realized I miss David Hyde Pierce! I guess because he's been held at knifepoint all this time.
This sounds like my cup of tea.
I caught the preview to this (which totally spoiled the direction the movie goes) and it looked great! I miss David Hyde Pierce too.
Yeah, JSP, a lot of the posters gie some of it away as well. But there is definitely a twist to it that I wasn't expecting.
