It was only a matter of time before Hollywood released its first quarantine-inspired horror movie but, Host isn’t a cheap shot in the dark at capitalising off the pandemic as it has scored a rare and perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Host, which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video’s horror channel Shudder, falls into the webcam subgenre of horror much like Unfriended, Searching and Ratter.
Oh, and it’s not to be confused with Bong Joon-ho’s critically-acclaimed 2017 horror or another movie called Host which is coincidentally out this year too.
Directed by Rob Savage, Host focuses on a Zoom call between friends during lockdown when they are joined by a medium for a virtual seance.
However, once they make contact with the dead, their Zoom call suddenly becomes their worst nightmare. (Metro)
