Guests (2019)

Katya and Sasha are teenagers who make money waitressing.  When they wait on four people who throw invite only parties in abandoned buildings, Sasha is excited to be invited. Katya doesn’t care, but is convinced by Sasha to go anyway.

At the party, the group reveal that the real parties are the one they do in empty houses. They go in, party and then leave everything as it was when they arrived. This way they have a great party, but the homeowners never know they were there.  Sasha’s told them Katya knows of a house where the owner is away. Katya is not amused, but responds to peer pressure and leads the way.

While the house is locked up, it looks like no one has been there in a while and there is mold on the walls. The group tries to light a fire, but the chimney is blocked so they go looking for a heater.  Why would the electricity work? They look around and find a book about demons which has a picture of the author in front of the house they’re in. This doesn’t bode well.

After they’ve been partying for awhile, a man comes in and tells them to get out. As they start to pack up,  he says he won’t call the police on them. Unlike most people who are trespassing and would be grateful to not get arrested, one of the guys questions why the man wouldn’t call the police. Then he jumps him. After another kid tases the man, and they decide to lock him in the basement, which oddly enough is across the yard.  Oh stupid kids, what will you do next?

Some of the group wants to leave, but the guy who jumped him decides to stay and party.  This is a terrible idea, even if only for the reason that they just tased a man and locked him up. How are they going to let him out so he doesn’t die in there? 

But that is the least of their worries since now we’ve got mold  going across the floor as if it’s a glass of spilled water. Plus there are two spirits who don’t seem happy to see the kids. And if you couldn’t already guess based on the book, they aren’t actually ghosts. They’re demons. So our kids are in for a world of hurt. But for the most part you don’t care because they’re breaking into peoples homes to party. Even Katya who seems innocent at first proves to be misguided, and self serving. I mean, she did let them into someone else’s house so I guess everyone gets what they deserve.
