Article Needs to be Expanded
This article is underdeveloped with some key sections that should be expanded in more detail. The plot section is way to short and needs to be expanded, and since the film has received critical acclaim there should be WAY more reviews from critics added to this article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Box office
I saw this film (subtitled) in Germany. The place was packed.

A friend saw this film in the Netherlands also.

Thus the returns should definitely be noted by which countries have posted figures. Otherwise the impression is given that the headline figure is a global one. It is not. --62.31.52.225 (talk) 22:35, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Genre
One of the reasons why this film got a bit of publicity was because Wingard and Barrett transitioned from straight-up horror to a more restrained thriller. For example: this story at The Hollywood Reporter, which makes a big deal of The Guest's genre. So, I think we should probably discuss any changes to the genre from "thriller" to "horror", as a hidden note suggests. Obviously, there are some horror elements here, and maybe we should describe them somewhere. I don't necessarily think it should be in the opening sentence, though. One possibility is to mention that Wingard and Barrett were more well-known for their horror films at the time of the release of this film, and that The Guest still includes some horror elements. This would, of course, have to be sourced, but I think it would be easy to find a source that says this. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:01, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Since the majority of mainstream sources classify the movie as a thriller, I think that should be the one in the lead. Besides, MoS prefers a more streamlined overview of genres in the opening sentence. Tks,  Slightlymad  (talk &sdot; contribs) 07:23, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Although Allmovie calls it horror in the review, their database calls it a thriller right at the top. Box Office Mojo doesn't even use the word horror.  The Hollywood Reporter article calls it a thriller film, not a horror film.  They call some other film a horror film.  I really don't see the point in calling it a horror film.

 * I did say that it's primarily classified as a thriller movie and that should be the one in the lead. Tks,  Slightlymad  (talk &sdot; contribs) 07:42, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
