Second Sight Films has announced that they’re giving director Adam Wingard’s 2014 thriller The Guest (watch it HERE) a 4K UHD / Blu-ray dual-format release on October 25th… a perfect release date, given that the film is set around Halloween. Not only that, but it also has nods to Halloween III: Season of the Witch and Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers in it, and has even been described as “Halloween meets The Terminator“. If you’d like to pre-order a copy of the Second Sight release, you can do so at THIS LINK.
While the Blu-ray in this set will be region B, the 4K UHD disc is region-free.
Scripted by Simon Barrett, The Guest has the following synopsis:
David is the perfect guest. Friendly and helpful, the charismatic soldier arrives at the Peterson family’s doorstep claiming to have been a friend of their beloved son who recently died in action. The Petersons welcome David into their home and into their lives, but when people in town start dying under mysterious circumstances, their teenage daughter Anna begins to suspect that David isn’t who he claims to be.
Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe, Brendan Meyer, Sheila Kelley, Leland Orser, Lance Reddick, Joel David Moore, and Ethan Embry star.
