This was such a great mindfuck of a movie. David Hyde Pierce is amazing.Career criminal John Taylor (Clayne Crawford) has just committed a robbery, but cut his foot in the process. On the lam, he cons his way into the home of Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce), who is expecting guests for a dinner party. What John doesn't know is that Warwick is far from the mild-mannered suburbanite he pretends to be. The party quickly devolves into a dangerous game between two predators.
See, some of you might think that I have spoiled the central conceit of the movie, but you don't need the twist. That is the mildest part of the entire film. Watching John realize that he has picked the wrong fucking house to hide out in -- that's what you're here for. I'm not going to say it's flawless, because there were a couple of tonal missteps, at least in my opinion, but it's definitely worth a watch.
