To set it apart, Host is not really a found footage movie since there’s never any reference to this footage being recovered. It will be hard not to think of The Blair Witch Project when watching Host and although it’s not quite the same calibre as Myrik and Sanchez’s masterpiece, Host is a similarly micro-budgeted lesson in transcending the sum of its parts. It’s impossible to watch every participant at the same time and although it switches to a single camera for certain events, there is surely fun to be had in rewinding or rewatching the film in order to try and spot the catalyst when things escalate. The split screen and front facing viewpoints meaning the viewer is perpetually scanning the background for clues or ghostly apparitions. The Zoom conference concept works perfectly for a film of this style, using Zoom’s features to create scares and enforce a time limit on the proceedings. Running to a very brisk fifty-six minutes, Host manages to take the confines of the pandemic lockdown and turn what might appear to be problems, to its advantage. Before they know it, the strange occurrences are escalating and the friends have opened the door to an evil spirit intent on terrorising them. Unfortunately, things begin to go wrong almost immediately, from faulty internet connections, to strange noises. The friends are joined by medium Seylan (Seylan Baxter) to walk them through the séance. The final participant, Radina (Radina Drandova), is simply glad to be chatting with her friends, having been driven to distraction by her partner during quarantine. Caroline (Caroline Ward) and Emma (Emma Louise Webb) are anxious about the event and approach with caution, while Jemma (Jemma Moore) and the annoying Teddy (Edward Linard) are both more than a little sceptical about the whole thing. Although everyone in the group is pleased to see each other, a couple of the friends are less than keen on the idea of a séance.

It might well be the first movie referencing the COVID-19 crisis and it certainly seems to be the first one to use isolation restrictions to its advantage.Ī group of six friends convene for a catch up over Zoom, in order to take part in a séance put together by organiser Haley (Haley Bishop). Host is a supernatural horror movie from director Rob Savage, filmed entirely on laptops and phones, using the video conferencing software Zoom and adhering to quarantine rules.
