THE PERFECT HOST
     DAVID HYDE PIERCE  CLAYNE CRAWFORD

JOHN TAYLOR (CRAWFORD) IS ON THE RUN FROM THE POLICE AFTER ROBBING A BANK.  HE ENDS UP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF WARWICK WILSON (PIERCE) WHO IS ABOUT TO HAVE A DINNER PARTY.  TAYLOR CONS HIS WAY INTO WILSON'S HOUSE, BUT SOON FINDS OUT THAT THINGS AREN'T AS THEY APPEAR TO BE.
ONCE TAYLOR GETS INTO WILSON'S HOUSE, THIS MOVIE BECOMES A WILD UNPREDICTABLE RIDE THAT WILL HAVE YOU CRINGING, LAUGHING AND ASKING YOURSELF WHAT IS GOING ON.  HYDE PIERCE PUTS IN A GREAT PERFORMANCE, GOING FROM BEING CREEPY TO FUNNY TO JUST PLAIN CRAZY WITH EASE.  CRAWFORD IS JUST AS GOOD: HIS CHARACTER IS CAUGHT UP IN THIS UNFORESEEN LUNATIC EXPERIENCE AND IS JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE.  AS A SUBPLOT, THROUGH FLASHBACKS WE FIND OUT WHY TAYLOR ROBBED THE BANK, BUT WE LATER LEARN EVEN THAT IS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHT.  THE STORY IS GOOD, THE DIRECTING KEEPS THE PACE MOVING AND THE PERFORMANCES ARE GREAT.  I COMPLETELY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE.
RATING  3.5 OUT OF 5
