I finally started watching The Guest yesterday and here are my thoughts that no one asked for so far: (spoilers ahead!)
i started watching this with absolutely no idea what to expect other than the thought that it has exorcism & religious themes (based on the netflix preview). and episode 1 TOOK ME THE FUCK OUT. i love how they brutally displayed everything lol but srsly it was really terrifying right from the start.
i feel so bad for the three kids :( esp with choi yoon / father matthew. his whole family died because of the possession :( fuck that spirit/demon
I LOVE THE DYNAMICS OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS. Hwapyung is a simple taxi driver who pays no mind to abide by rules since he is not under any obligation. so, he tends to act on impulse. while detective kilyoung (SHE IS SO PRETTY BTW) follows the procedures by the law and choi follows the system of the church. three of them have very different backgrounds, but that one unfortunate night tied them together. i am excited to see how their friendship will foster more >>>
THAT EXORCISM SCENE IN EPISODE 2 HAUNTS ME. not because of how scary or jumpy it is, but because of the vibe and the way they executed the whole scene which makes it very unsettling. the actor who played father matthew is extremely good, he is my favorite character in the series so far.
these are my ramblings so far lol i'll probably go back here as i progress on watching the series. IT GOT ME HOOKED UP. it's horrifying, tense, and each episode really delivers. i like how they highlight the theme that the demon uses the weakness / dark side of a person and fuels them to act on it, causing them to sin. it really makes you think if it is the demon that kills or does it just reveal a person's true intention?
