"David Hyde Pierce gives a standout, whirlwind performance in this dark comedy/thriller. I don't want to say too much about the story beyond what's written in the summary as not to spoil any of the twists. Just know that it's worth watching if you're intrigued by the trailer because there is more to it than what is shown. Definitely a gem of a movie that should be appreciated by more people. 8.5/10"
"The acting in this movie is not amazing, but it isn't terrible. The main antagonist does a great job at physical acting throughout the movie. As for the storyline, I thought it was good. Original? Sort of... but it kept my attention. I did feel that at times Warwick's "friends" didn't need to be shown. I also wish that the movie would have gone in detail about each "guest" and how they ended up being a part of the dinner party. For a comedy thriller it is definitely slow, but I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a entertaining suspense. "
"Very few movies surprise me as much as this one did! "
