Genuinely good! And considering the limited technology used, this was very unnerving. I haven't seen a good horror movie in a long time, but this changed that. I shall not be using Zoom in the near future!

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Host’: 1. Bravo, Shudder. You got me. I was rightfully on edge for most of the film’s runtime. Supremely spooked… and that doesn’t happen often. A lot of it may be due to watching it alone in my apartment in the middle of the night. Still, solid flick. 2. It’s hard to believe this was just under an hour. They really made such great use of the time. It felt like a full-length feature film. 3. We only got a glimpse of that demon thingy a couple times… and that was enough. I didn’t wanna see it again. Total nightmare fuel.

This was actually a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it enough to not feel it was a waste of time and the jump scares got me good. Also, I love it when the moral of the story is "even if you don't believe in the paranormal, don't be disrespectful about it you dumb b*tch" because that's an important message.

Surprisingly good production values for a Zoom based jump scare short. Not bad at all, and any negatives are easily palatable at this kind of runtime. Worth a watch.

Look, to anyone who is reaminding you that during quarantine, or the many quarantines that were necessary to stop the spread of the plauge in 1592, 1603 (which was particularly lethal) and then again in 1606, all in London where he worked, Shakespeare wrote King Lear, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatr More

Well then, I guess the glitch didn't just typed.

So 'Host' is a horror "movie" that was filmed entirely using Zoom during the COVID-19 lockdown. Some spooky stuff happens with a demotic demon and one by one everybody is killed off. It's like 'Unfriended’ but Zoom. Th More

I had my reservations about Host. Zoom became very popular during the pandemic, but that doesn't mean that people are clamoring for movies about other people using Zoom. That said, I admit that Host won me over little by little.

It's nowhere near perfect; the characters stay logged onto their Zoo More
