apart from the weird ending I really enjoyed the film-don't think Dan the man learnt those kick ass moves at Downton...

The OST on this is better than Drive in my opinion ... Drive & The Guest are very similar artistically / music wise and the weirdness level.

Anyone received this yet?

Anyone received this yet?

Not yet. I actually had the ol' dispatch e-mail 6 days ago now... but then Christmas came along - so I won't complain. Hopefully tomorrow!

Is this worth a blind buy or should I wait for the probable price drop?

Watch the film first if I were you, I enjoyed it but wouldn't pay £15 for it. The steelbook doesn't look all that either. @psychoscot described it best.

Anybody actually received this yet? Had the dispatch email about a week ago for this and The Butterfly Effect but no sign....damn Christmas!

Same here, had the dispatch e-mail a week ago today. I've ordered three more steelbooks from Zavvi since then (Moon, The Road and The Deer Hunter) and I've got a funny feeling that they'll get here before The Guest at this rate. Heh.

Think the Royal Mail have taken the week off. Waiting for this and Seraphim Falls.

 

[popeye]

No sign of mine either.

 

[nekromantik]

Not got mine either.

 

[leelee17]

same problem with my gone baby gone order. dispatched 12 days ago...........

 

[Noodles]

No packages for me lately either... postie still seems to be getting bills to my door with no problem though! Hopefully we'll all have this steel by the end of the week.

 

[Noodles]

Hmm well it looks like a few Instagramers have received theirs (not my pictures)...

 

[samwinchester10]

Was hoping it would be gloss but matte fits the artwork better I think.. Even though I think the artwork isn't nowhere near the greatness they could have made for this film. The purple U.K. blu ray with gloss would have been so much better.

I was also hoping the inside would be the image of him throwing the grenades while smiling haha

That first image looks so much better than how it actually looks in normal light too

Just received this, it's okay, not worth more than a tenner though based purely on the steel, hope the film is good though...

 

[ChrisWatts85]

Arrived this morning. Blind buy based on reviews

 

[BluSteel2012]

The finish looks very bland going by the pics.

I expect this will drop in price quite quickly like Icons other Steelbooks The Road and Apocalypto...

 

[jayscott1969]

Received mine today . Underwhelmed by the steelbook . Watch the film tonight if it's not great , ebay tomorrow

 

[lolwut]

What a dull finish. This really needed gloss.
