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.

wait, that was... awesome. I've seen SO many horror movies in my 21 years of life that it's really hard for me to feel scared now, but this movie did that. i think it was mainly because it felt so modern and real, like it could happen to any of us any day. although it is predictable and nothing new, they were able to deliver some very effective jumpscares. the scene where the filter seems to detect a face where presumably there isn't one was *chef's kiss*. honestly worth a watch. i loved it

Like cheating a psychic: this film took advantage of the medium.

Host is such an efficient little horror film that I can even overlook the bad pun of the title. It capitalizes on the spirit of the lockdown and virtual meetings to deliver some effective scares and edge of the bed suspense. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a found footage slut.

Really unoriginal, cliche and predictable, but also surprisingly well acted and skillfully made.
If you accept that not every film has to reinvent the wheel, you’ll probably enjoy this.

6.5/10

I love that the runtime is around 40min because Zoom. Pretty realistic if you ask me :joy:

Not only is this a great horror movie, but future historians will look back on it as a time capsule for the mess that 2020 is.

This movie is scary!! Believe me if you get scared easily, do not watch this alone specially in night.
I had very little hope in this movie but it turned out amazing. I have seen a gew movies with the same setting (what should we call this genre? Screen capture, Desktop movie? Is there already a name for this? I don't know). Nice idea though, haunting on a Zoom call.

Extremely enjoyable and well made for the current covid situation. All the characters are relatable in their different personalities, almost really feeling a friend group in a Skype call. This is how Unfriended should have been. The first two acts were fucking strong, my chest was pumping and I was hiding behind my hands. But the final act goes too far, it wants to pack in all the scares and ruins the tension and fear of the unknown from the first two acts. What made Paranormal activity so good was the invisible entity, this is what the Host had in the first two acts. But they decided to show the entity in a physical form, almost destroying the scares and making me lower my hand from fear anymore. Overall, it’s a recommended watch, fun and starting strong.

[Sitges FF] A traditional jump/scary movie that benefits from confinement to rework itself as a talented proposal. It's the context that gives it the value and depth. There is something stalking us, threatening even in our own homes. A "new normal" terrifying life that we have assumed as usual. The director achieves a lot with little, creates remarkable entertainment, and wraps videoconferencing culture in gloom.

Pretty damn good for what it is. Jump scares were a nice mix of actual scares versus misdirection scares.
