RELATED: This Steven Spielberg Movie About An Alien Invasion Is Underrated There are a few minutes of the movie that are not shot on the Zoom call where we see Haley getting prepared, and it looks like some spirits may already be present from her past seances that have lingered around. This is the first time the others have ever done something like this, but Haley has already done this (in person) a few times. This week it's Haley's turn, and she has decided the group will do a seance lead by a medium whom she has hired. Each week, a different friend will host the meeting and arrange an activity for the group to participate in together. Horror fans should really enjoy Host.This movie is scary because it has a realistic premise about a group of friends who are stuck inside during the social distancing lockdown and want to stay in touch by having weekly Zoom call meetings. The tension builds well, and you find yourself looking beyond the characters, into the background of the scenes in case there is something demonic lurking there.Īpparently, it only took 12 weeks for Host to get to Shudder, and as quarantine was already in place, the cast had to perform many of the stunts and effects themselves, so you have to admire the production, and the challenge of getting the thing actually made. ![]() The scares are effective, and as a viewer, you are very quickly drawn into the meeting and the séance. If you enjoy these types of films, then I imagine you will get quite a lot from Host. The premise is topical and engaging, and the performances are actually really good, with the cast doing a great job with such a limited palate. ![]() The story escalates from here, pretty much in the way you probably expect it should, and the shocks and jump scares build to a shocking final scene.
