When you allow your viewers to see something they once cherished in a different light, you already won half the battle. This idea worked well for films like Jaws or Final Destination 2, taking beaches and the highway and giving us something to fear. Right off the bat, this film does something I absolutely love for a horror film to do it takes a premise we feel comfortable and safe with, and it twists it into something horrifying.
Though not everyone is taking it seriously and that leads to them opening the door to something far darker than they’d ever imagined. While trying to figure out what to do this week, Haley suggests this idea, and her friend goes along with it. Though, not many people are hosting full-on seances over the video chat service like our gang in Host. This is fairly common with groups of friends as many want to practice social distancing but still spend time with their loved ones. The film follows a group of friends as they meet up for their weekly Zoom session. This quarantine-era horror treat is a perfect encapsulation of this time in our society, but also works beyond that: Host is seriously a terrifying experience. But what happens when someone actually turns this concept into a real horror film? That’s what obviously inspired the creators behind Host, a new horror film exclusively on Shudder. Their normal group chat turns dark when a seance goes wrong.įor anyone experiencing life in the last few months, we all know Zoom calls can feel like a horror story. Six friends get together during lockdown for their weekly zoom call.
Starring Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, and Radina Drandova.
