If a man showed up on your front doorstep, claiming he knew your deceased war veteran son, and he looked like Dan Stevens from “Downton Abbey,” well… we’d let him in too. But that turns out to be a big mistake in The Guest, the latest action/horror hybrid from Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett, the filmmakers you who brought you the cult hit You’re Next. It’s a twisty-turny-scary-funny-thrilling motion picture that CraveOnline called “genuinely great filmmaking” after it screened at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.
