The acting wasn't that great, but it was an interesting premise and never resorted to getting too cheesy.

Pierce carries a film that can't decide what it wants to be. I think most would agree that the "Perfect Host" being just that is the compelling and totally enthralling subject, but the rest of the various plots are a little too much. Still, the twists are pretty fun and Pierce is fantastic.

A very cool psychological thriller that is elevated by Pierce's great charismatic performance. The vast majority of the movie is darkly humorous, suspenseful, and interesting. Unfortunately the final act felt a bit tacked on and didn't quite fit with what came before it. Definitely worth a watch even if it could have had smoother transitions and a better ending.

I was expecting a tame thriller, and was surprised by the intensity of the first act. But let's be straight: it's a three-act film, and the transitions from act to act are pretty jarring. David Hyde Pierce does manage to tie it all together, though.

Very trippy and absurd movie with several left-turns in plot and tone. Not a great movie by any means but It is great to see David Hyde Pierce in a role like this. He's very fun.

This movie was like eating a Sun Chip. Like a regular potato chip you're almost ashamed you like this movie. However its a Sun Chip which means it isn't so bad you totally regret liking it. I mean the movie is all over the place, but David Hyde Pierce really does a nice job of pulling the whole thing together. It would be easy to write this movie off, but just remember its a Sun Chip. Give in to David Hyde Pierce's performance and enjoy.

It's like the director had a lot of great ideas but only one chance to make a movie. He didn't know if he'd ever get to make another so he threw in everything he had. This movie is ALL over the place. It's uneven tonally and quite confused plot-wise. Pierce is good, but he comes across as not knowing how precisely to play the character or handle the material. There are remnants of about five different movie ideas here, maybe two of which would have been decent if given room to breathe.

There were about five films in this one film, not one of which was given enough time to be properly fleshed out. It's a shame. David Hyde Pierce is fantastic here and had the script been even remotely consistent he could have done some really great stuff. Unfortunately the tone is incosistent, the characters are inconsistent, the genre is inconsistent, and the mechanics of the protagonists illness are incosistent. A real waste.

As most have said and will say, David Hyde Pierce was awesome in this movie. It was a hell of a lot of fun to see what would happen next, as I say with many movies, dont take it too seriously, you'll only diminish the entertainment value if you overthink it all.

Surprisingly smart, funny and entertaining. Just as I thought the fun part was over, along came a twist and changed everything. Ending was decent, but a little lackluster. Still, surprisingly good movie.

Deliciously entertaining and wildly unpredictable, with at least two genuine surprise plot twists, and a nimble, skillful tone that veers deftly from full-on horror to police procedural to comedy and back again. Most gratifying is the way writer/director Nick Tomnay declines to answer all the questions that his story brings up; he's clearly a talent to keep an eye on. And, ideally, David Hyde Pierce's performance would be garnering some award talk.

Without spoiling anything, this was a fun approach to ... what takes place in this film. David Hyde Pierce's performance was excellent and left me feeling, dare I say, captivated? My only complaint was the ending - it was a little tacked-on but acceptable. Thanks to this movie, I will enjoy hearing the song "Carwash" more than ever because of the way it was used here.

A strange, perversely funny thriller that falls apart in the final act, but it's worth watching for Pierce's virtuoso performance alone.

Pierce's wonderful tour-de-force performance (Niles Crane meets Annie Wilkes) carries uneven thriller, which manages to be interesting by never quite going where you expect. Generally good performances by the rest of the cast (including an unexpected cameo by Reddy) and interesting directorial flourishes, but it is Pierce's film all the way.

David Hyde Pierce is awesome, but other than that it's a pretty mediocre psychopath with a twist kind of movie.
