In Theaters Now : THE PERFECT HOST (2011)


Official Synopsis : Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce)is the consummate host. He carefully prepares for a dinner party, the table impeccably set and the duck perfectly timed for 8:30 p.m. John Taylor (Clayne Crawford) is a career criminal. He's just robbed a bank and needs to get off the streets. He finds himself on Warwick's doorstep posing as a friend of a friend, new to Los Angeles, who's been mugged and lost his luggage. As the wine flows and the evening progresses, we become deeply intertwined in the lives of these two men and discover just how deceiving appearances can be. The Perfect Host is a slippery psychological thriller that exposes true human nature and reveals just how far we're willing to go to satisfy our needs. -- (C) Magnolia

What to Expect : Twisted comedy thriller featuring one of the creepiest psychopaths since Hannibal Lecter. Perhaps not the best example of filmmaking, but David Hyde Pierce crafts a genuinely sinister character. That alone might make it worthwhile.

Critical Response : Mixed, although not many reviews exist at this time, due to the movie receiving a limited release. Most of the critics agreed that Clayne Crawford and David Hyde Pierce make an excellent on-screen duo, but, again most reviewers stated that the plot comes undone under the strain of unconvincing twists and poor logic. 43% Fresh on Rottentomatoes.com from 9 positive and 12 negative reviews.
