The Guest

The Guest (2014)

The Guest is a 2014 American thriller directed by Adam Wingard, starring Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe.

The Peterson family is mourning the loss of their eldest son, Caleb, a US Army soldier who was recently killed in action in Afghanistan. The family is visited by David, a former soldier who claims to have been Caleb's best friend in the military. The family invites him to stay around for as long as he likes, charmed by his affable demeanor. However, David displays a startling violent side, and may not be who he really claims to be.

The following weapons were used in the film The Guest:

Star Model B

David (Dan Stevens) is seen with a Star Model B when buying guns from Craig's friend Higgins (Ethan Embry). He is also seen disassembling the weapon as well.

While the Star Model B bears little resemblance to the EAA Witness, the latter may have been intended to be the gun originally used in this scene.
