That is ironic…and meta… because the film was a found footage film shot inside of a Zoom meeting. I waited because I had the idea it would be a epic awesomeness to invite a pile of friends to watch the film together over Zoom, while quarantined. Well, intrepid heckler, that’s a great question. “Why’d you wait so long to see it?! I thought you were fan-boying over it!” I hear you yelling from the cheap seats. So Host has been out about 5 days, and I’ve only just watched it. I’ve been hearing strange noises from my attic, so I called a few friends and went to investigate… /CxmJAf44ob- Rob Savage April 21, 2020 Here, here is the video idea that germinated into the full Host movie: And since I heard about it a month ago, I’ve been dying to see it. If this fact doesn’t just shatter your brain, you know nothing about film making. If you haven’t heard of this movie… it’s entitled HOST (not The Host, or whatever, just Host.) And literally, this movie is a movie for our times. So let’s do this, shall we? The Host Movie is Pure Horror Concentrate. This thing is maybe 60-minutes long wet…and just the raw number of jump scares, and horror-filled moments destroy any other movie I’ve ever seen. Heck, there are even horror movies about the madness of our suburban cul-de-sacs! ( Vivarium anyone?) But today, I bring you literally, and unhyperbolically, the world’s most perfect raw horror film in the movie Host. Maybe they even deal with the family trauma of mass murders, like the film We Have to Talk About Kevin. Family cultist residual impacts and trauma, like the movie The Lodge. Or they can deal with traumatic family ailments and disabilities, like the movie Relic. There are horror movies that deal with guilt and past angst – like The Ritual. Who knew that horror films didn’t need to be mindless slaughter fests? Huh? OK. But, you guys, in the past few years, have introduced me to a whole new level of horror madness that just blew my mind. I sort of get to giggling when I think about the poor actor doused in fake blood and ephemera.
