The Perfect Host

The Perfect Host, a dark comedy / thriller starring David Hyde Pierce and John Cayne, written and directed by Nick Tomnay, is up there with my three or four favorite movies of all time.  DHP is masterful, the story is engrossing, and it really hit my sense of humor right on the sweet spot.  Thanks to some friends, I was able to catch a screening at Sundance.  I am hoping for a theatrical release so I can see it again — as Tomnay said during the Q&A after the screening, it's an entirely different ride the second time you see it, and I'm certain that's true.  This won't be for everyone.  I'd say that fans of Dexter are likely to enjoy, as well as The Usual Suspects devotees.  

P.S. Do yourself a big favor and stay as far away from synopses and spoilers before you see this one.
