This Halloween, you can settle in for the ultimate movie night with the 2014 psychological thriller The Guest in all of its brand-new 4K glory thanks to Second Sight Films. This film is already a visual feast on its own, so this new HDR master is truly a tantalizing upgrade.
Starring Dan Stevens (Legion, Downton Abbey), 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 starts wondering if David is responsible.
Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett (the duo behind V/H/S and You’re Next), the movie also stars Maika Monroe (It Follows), Sheila Kelley (The Good Doctor), Leland Orser (I Am the Night), and Lance Reddick (Bosch).
Originally announced back in August, pre-orders are now available. Check out all of the killer list of special features and contents below, via Second Sight Films.
