Stuff like characters getting dragged out of a room by an invisible hand should’ve been done with when Paranormal Activity did it. Imagine every trope that’s been done in horror films and you’ve got Host. That’s how you know an actor can sell a shot, when they’re crying and they’ve got snot flowing and they’re still in it for the quality of the art. We get to a point in the film where everyone is crying and screaming and their faces are just soaking wet with tears and snot and spit and it’s great. One positive thing I will say about Host is that the acting is very well done and very believable. The film stars a cast of actors who all use their real first names as their characters presumably because nobody wanted to edit their Zoom profiles or because the film was made up on the spot and keeping track of seven different fake character names would be too hard. Host feels like Rob Savage said “how many played out tropes can we stuff into an hour long movie?” It’s like the film equivalent of the chubby bunny game, except everything is stale and nobody wins. Yea, we’re doing one of those films again.
Brought to us by the fantastic director Rob Savage best known for jack shit you’ve ever seen, Host is a horror movie shot entirely on Zoom. In the world of Coronavirus it was only a matter of time before we got a cheap horror movie shot entirely in quarantine, and that film is Host. Actually that’s not true, because Host is already many years out of date.
