Host is a found-footage film that owes a lot to movies like Unfriended, The Den and Kairo, using both Zoom and the pandemic as a framing device to tell a familiar story about ghostly and demonic mayhem after friends fail to take the supernatural seriously. The idea of a horror film that takes place on the internet is not new. RELATED: Deep Blue Sea 3 Is Just Another Dumb Shark Movie
While one of the friends is very experienced, the others don't take the process all too seriously, until, without warning, they draw the attention of an entity - or series of entities - that has far from their best interests at heart. All the actors operated their own cameras, pulled off their own practical effects and lit their own scenes while Savage directed them remotely.The film focuses on six friends - Haley, Jemma, Radina, Caroline, Emma and Teddy - who decide during the pandemic to host a seance for fun. The movie stars Haley Bishop ( Deep State), Radina Drandova ( Dawn of the Deaf), Edward Linard ( The Rebels), Jemma Moore ( Doom: Annihilation), Caroline Ward ( Stalling It) and Emma Louise Webb ( The Crown).
When an evil spirit starts invading their homes, they begin to realize they might not survive the night. Host follows six friends who hire a medium to hold a séance via Zoom during lockdown - but they get far more than they bargain for as things quickly go wrong. Shudder is the latest to unveil its filmed-in-quarantine project with the horror feature Host, which is set to premiere on the streaming platform July 30.ĭirected by Rob Savage ( Dawn of the Deaf), who wrote the script with Gemma Hurley and Jed Shepherd, Host was shot remotely in the actors’ homes during quarantine and adheres to social distancing rules with inventive ways to deliver the scares, stunts and surprises expected from a horror pic.
