The Perfect Host (2010)


What a delightfully weird and creepy movie. Definitely a bit eclectic and not for the mainstream viewer.

David Hyde Pierce as Warrick Wilson is out of his mold. He's like Buffalo Bill of Silence of the Lambs meets Dr Cavanaugh of Boxing Helena; of course with his own charm and vulnerability tying it together.

The Perfect Host has a low budget feel to it but it truly adds more fullness because of it. It's easy to see this movie being performed as a play. It takes place mostly in one place and the characters are all very individual (ironically).

There are no big bang effects or crafty lines, just a quirky and entertaining story and performances that deliver it well.

On a scale of 1-10, The Perfect Host is 7.5.
