A fugitive on the lam (Crawford) decides to crash a dinner party. But he seriously regrets it when the mysterious and unusual host (Pierce) soon has him convinced that he would have been better off hiding somewhere else...
The original soundtrack of the film is composed by John Swihart.
The movie was photographed in just Seventeen days. The Perfect Host may read like a bizarre train wreck of unfortunate circumstance piled on top of perverse, illogical fantasy and caught somewhere between psychological thriller and bemusing dark comedy. David Hyde Pierce nonetheless seems to be enjoying and reveling in the sadistic fun, mining his Broadway roots for broad comedy and twisted humor as though he were breaking the fourth wall and playing out to the audience, engaging in moments of comic bliss. He's phenomenally entertaining but the rest of the cast remains stoic and bogged down by a directorial hand devoid of self-reflexivity.
In the end, it’s a must watch movie.
