Suspenseful horror movie, Unfriended walked so Host could run. The movie is pretty short, wish it was about 20 minutes longer and the ending is something that's been done a million times, seemed like they didn't know how else to end it. Other than the ending that's been overdone this was a great movie that had real tension and suspense and some good scares.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Legit, starts off a bit "cheesy, where's this going?" but can guarantee it is worth the wait. Hands down one of the scariest films I have seen in a while.

I thought this one was okay. I was kept interested the entire time and the movie really picks up and stays at an even pace and the creative ways of death were fun and I really laughed how they feared the outside more than a Demon in their homes. I enjoy found footage and the more modern camera styles and these types of movies are why.

The lst scene definitelly creeped me out the most! Overall, it was a good scare, but the story isn't anything special. Some parts of the story were predictable

Time Out

Until someone makes a film about a haunted sourdough starter, this ingenious horror movie will remain the zeitgeistiest thing to emerge from lockdown.

Rated: 4/5

Collider

Tense and full of jumpscares, Host deals with themes such as social anxiety and the fear of isolation. It was a terrifying watch during the height of the pandemic but still lands its punch to this day.

Akos Peterbencze

Frame Rated (Medium)

...in a genre that’s challenging enough itself with various forms (see also the brilliantly written and shocking 2018 masterpiece Searching), Host took advantage of a global pandemic in a delicious way.

Nightmarish Conjurings

Host is an innovative, timely, and terrifying Zoom-based horror film that mines classic found footage tropes for fresh new scares and uses technological and logistical limitations to its advantage.
