“A razor-sharp and ruthlessly pointed social horror story, exploring the toxic nexus of racism, police brutality, and social indifference, and the ways in which politeness and manners are so often a means of ignoring unwelcome reality, however closely they might be brought home.”

-Grimmfest 2020

“...a true psychological thriller that makes a startling commentary on police brutality, forcing the viewer to conclude that if it can happen to him, it can also happen to me. This film is very powerful as Pierre’s conceit is the gateway to the best tool we have to fight against discrimination: empathy.”

- Aisha Evelyna, Progammer ReelWorld Film Festival

``An Uninvited Guest`` was born out of me witnessing a Black man murdered on the six o'clock news. As I watched the video replay on a seemingly endless loop, I could easily become numb to the horror and yet each time it played it was as fresh and real as if it had happened right in front of me. I knew I needed to do something more than just get angry. I needed to do something that would provoke people and that is when I began thinking of this film.”
