Host
Directed by Rob Savage
Six friends get together during lockdown for their weekly zoom call. It's Haley’s turn to organise an activity and instead of a quiz, she’s arranged for a Medium to conduct a séance. Bored and feeling mischievous, Jemma decides to have some fun and invents a story about a boy in her school who hanged himself. However, her prank gives license for a demonic presence to cross over, taking on the guise of the boy in Jemma’s made-up story. The friends begin noticing strange occurrences in their homes as the evil presence begins to make itself known, and they soon realise that they might not survive the night. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
During an online séance, six friends accidentally invite the attention of a demonic presence.
Cast: Haley Bishop, Radina Drandova, Jemma Moore, Caroline Ward, Emma Webb, Edward Linard

I just watched 'Host' and I must be truthful....it started out slow, however the movie picked up steam FAST! My heart is still racing. Yeah, it scard the he*l outta me!
A good scare movie fs
Good yet fails to truly deliver true jumpy scares,
so anticlimactic. boring characters. rip off of 'unfriended' movie which was way more suspenseful. this movie lacks meaning. just an angry spirit that kills them off for no reason. the jump scares were terrible, lacked any aspects of scary. wouldn't recommend. fails to deliver anything scary. pretty bad tension building too.
Excellent acting, not overly-scripted, and fantastic tension-building.
