"Your my guest and I'm glad your here, but you only have yourself to blame." After robbing a bank and having his face and name broadcast all over TV, John (Crawford) needs a place to lay low. After con-ing his way into a strangers house he thinks he's safe. This is another example of a movie that could have been a terrible made for TV movie made into a legit movie by the casting. Warwick (Pierce) is a character that could be way over the top and unbelievable, but due to the fact that "Niles" played him it made him that much creepier. He really added a dimension to the character by playing him normal, simply by who he is. If a no-name was cast in the part he would not have been as creepy has Pierce (due to his "baggage" he brings). Trying not to repeat myself too much...this is a C- movie made much much better by the acting and casting. I liked it. Overall, a very creepy movie with a very cool twist. Very surprisingly good movie. I give it a B. Would I watch again? - I think I would. *Also try - Playing House

David Hyde Pierce will forever known as Niles Crane--Frasier Crane's brother. However, in this post-"Frasier" film, Pierce appears to be screaming LOUDLY that he is NOT Niles! No, the character from this film is very, very, very far removed from his cute comedic persona from TV. The film begins with a desperate criminal (Clayne Crawford) running from the police. He was involved in some sort of robbery and was injured in the process. And, naturally, he's looking to find some place to hide. He tries a couple times and finally convinces a guy (Pierce) to allow him into his home. Crawford lies and convinces Pierce that he's harmless and the viewer can't help but worry about poor Pierce's safety. My advice...DON'T worry about Pierce...he's more than capable of taking care of himself. I'd say more, but it would spoil the amazing twist that takes place. My advice....hold on to your hats! This is one of the strangest movies I've seen in some time. In some ways, it's a very, very, very dark comedy. But, mostly, it's a terrifying film--one that is very original and quite strange...and quite savage. Regardless, it's an acting tour de force by both Pierce and Crawford and it's amazingly well written and clever. See this film. It's not perfect but it's pretty cool and memorable nonetheless.

1. great film 2. Fraser's brother is in it and has a killer walk 3. okay acting 4. story is okay and would make a great TV show 5. is somewhat like the show Dexter 6. bad part- it was easy to tell whose the victim and whose the psycho 7. seemed well written 8. had great music 9. will make u think twice about going to someones party 10. that walk needs to be on a runway 11. makes u wonder if the actor was a speed walker in a past life 12. Beware of the host that cooks their meat with the head still attached. I would definitely recommend this movie too people who like Dexter. I was really surprised with how good the film was not because of whose in it but the title. I hope they turn this into a show so we can get more of a back story on the characters. But with the little information were told it makes an interesting story.

David Hyde Pierce stars in this odd, twist-heavy home invasion thriller, in which he suddenly turns the tables on both a desperate assailant and the unsuspecting audience. It's a cinematic contortionist, so desperate to shock and surprise that it gives every single cast member a chance to swivel one hundred-eighty degrees. Unsurprisingly, that trick quickly gets old and we're left to make bold predictions on a shallow, random plot while the puppets perform their jangly, awkward little dance. Pierce is loads of fun as the ludicrously demented straight-lacer with a secret, but the film isn't particularly well-acted and the greater story arc makes almost no sense. It looks terrific for a low-budget production, but desperately needed a few more rounds of screenplay revisions and the caring touch of a proficient editor.

An very eccentric black comedy/thriller that's boost a bold, creepy and wickedly funny performance from David Hyde Pierce. The movie goes down a pretty strange yet clever and suspenseful path that's similar to films like Swimming With Sharks, Hard Candy, Misery and An American Psycho but more on the comedy side. There was never a dull moment in this film it was entertaining throughout yet disturbing in its theme and keeps you guessing what's real and what's not and how it's going to end and the movie is kind of a refreshing take on the whole home invasion, held hostage type of thrillers but instead of the intruder doing the dirty work it's the owner of the home and I love that twisted take but it never gets too bloody because it's more witty and clever than that. Overall it never fully answers questions or fill in all the plot holes but it was different from the norm and was clever in its executions but still left me wanting more from it. Rental

Viewed at the Festival de Film, Cannes 2010 To spoil or not to spoil, that is the question. NOT spoil! The summary tells you all you need to know and anything else would be a revelation and defeat the object. Basically, David Hyde Pierce plays his Frasier character Nils as coming from the dark side. He's whacked out all right, but only slowly do we discover just how whacked and out he is! The Perfect Host is not a horror film, although it's easy to see how it could have been made as one, but a psychological, cat and mouse thriller of tables (dining tables?) turning and being turned as small time hood meets major lunatic! Given the vast majority of the film takes place in one setting, the film does come over as a bit staged at times, but that also adds another dimension because staging itself plays a big part. After all, Warwick Wilson (David Hyde Pierce's character) is staging the perfect dinner party and is not about to let some uncultivated intruder spoil things. And then come the twists... The Perfect Host is a little film that slips under the radar, but if you enjoy good thrillers, want a different take on the home invasion genre, just enjoy watching David Hyde Pierce (and he is most watchable) being creepy, then it's well worth a look.
