“… unintentionally antagonizes a spirit on the astral plane…” Can she save the day, or will the insidious spirit successfully exact revenge on the group that has wronged it? Haley, who’s hosting the meeting, will be forced to take things into her own hands and put an end to the madness surrounding her and her friends. However, when one of the friends unintentionally antagonizes a spirit on the astral plane, things go awry, and their night will take a turn for the worse. When Haley (Haley Bishop) asks a friend of hers, Seylan (Seylan Baxter), to perform a seance for her and her other friends - Jemma (Jemma Moore), Emma (Emma Louise Webb), Radina (Radina Drandova), and Caroline (Caroline Ward) - she expects it to be a simple, hour of fun. Host is the story of one of these unique activities being performed via Zoom. In addition to these essential functions, the video conferencing platform has made it clear that a number of unique activities are possible from the safety of your own home. This particular piece of technology has made the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world significantly easier during these trying times. School is being held on the platform, while friends and family who were forced to remain home during a number of special occasions used it as a way to communicate with one another. Horror fans should really enjoy Host.In the world of quarantine and social distancing, Zoom has emerged supreme as one of the most essential services for work and entertainment. The tension builds well, and you find yourself looking beyond the characters, into the background of the scenes in case there is something demonic lurking there.Īpparently, it only took 12 weeks for Host to get to Shudder, and as quarantine was already in place, the cast had to perform many of the stunts and effects themselves, so you have to admire the production, and the challenge of getting the thing actually made.

The scares are effective, and as a viewer, you are very quickly drawn into the meeting and the séance. If you enjoy these types of films, then I imagine you will get quite a lot from Host. The premise is topical and engaging, and the performances are actually really good, with the cast doing a great job with such a limited palate.

The story escalates from here, pretty much in the way you probably expect it should, and the shocks and jump scares build to a shocking final scene.
