All four films spend most of their running time operating as one kind of story before the genre shifts underneath you in the final twenty minutes. The Guest plays as a domestic thriller until the lighting and music change and it becomes supernatural slasher. Audition builds as a quiet, melancholy romance before the box on the floor moves. The World's End is a pub-crawl reunion comedy about middle-aged men re-living a school road trip until the alien invasion takes over and nobody goes home the way they arrived. Promising Young Woman is a dark character study with a plan underneath, and the plan turns out to be more violent than the first ninety minutes suggested.
