Rental Pick: The Guest (2014)

I always enjoy seeing actors reinvent themselves and one of such actors who did a pretty phenomenal job recently is Dan Stevens. Most of you probably knew him from as Matthew Crawley from Downton Abbey, but I first saw the British actor in another period drama, BBC's Sense & Sensibility. Well, gone is his chubby cheeks …
