The Guest 2014

This movie seemed to want to be the next Drive but falls oh so short. The soundtrack, which could've been good, was wedged so aggressively into every scene that it was instead annoying and distracting. This movie lives the unfortunate space of being almost bad enough to be good. If they had leaned into the camp (that thumbs up at the end!? magic!), we could have had a blast with the weird acting, nonsensical plot, and too loud soundtrack. But alas, they stopped just short of the self-aware ham that would've put us somewhere fun and instead left us with a second half too boring to pay attention to.
