Host review: Zoom calls will never be the same after watching this scare-fest
Host, which is shot entirely indoors, the makers manage to get the necessary spine-chilling moments with an apt storyline, a perfect background score, and above all, the unique look of it being a Zoom call
Horror is one genre that Hollywood filmmakers have sort of mastered the art of. Even with a small film like Host, which is shot entirely indoors, they manage to get the necessary spine-chilling moments with an apt storyline, a perfect background score, and above all, the unique look of it being a Zoom call. Masterstroke!
Caroline Ward, and
Emma Louise Webb, who also operated their own cameras, helped pull off their own practical effects, and lit their own scenes. Due to social distancing precautions, Savage never set foot in the same room as his actors at any point during production and instead directed them remotely. This has been receiving rave reviews all week and is available on Shudder now. It s one of this year s horror hits.
Here s the official trailer (+ poster) for Rob Savage s
Host, direct from Shudder s YouTube:
Host is the story of six friends who hire a medium to hold a séance over Zoom during lockdown, but they get far more than they bargain for as things quickly go wrong. When an evil spirit starts invading their homes, they begin to realize they might not survive the night.
