Los Angeles, May 12 : Filmmaker Rob Savages horror film Host , which recently released digitally, features non-actors. The filmmaker says anyone with an internet connection was eligible to be part of the film.
The film was shot entirely on the Zoom Video calling during lockdown last year.
It all started when Savage played a prank on his friends during a live video interaction. In a zoom session, he told his friends that there was someone in his cellar. He then proceeded to the cellar to show them a video of him being eaten up by a zombie live.
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.
