Why it’s HorroRated
Savage turns the most mundane screen of 2020 into a haunted house, and the trick works astonishingly well: frozen frames, virtual backgrounds and lagging audio all become sources of dread. At under an hour, there's zero fat, and the scares escalate with real invention. The characters are sketchy and the premise is tied to its moment, but watching it alone on a laptop is an experience you won't forget. Perfect for a short, sharp late-night jolt.
Synopsis
Filmed remotely during the 2020 pandemic lockdown, Host (2020) is Rob Savage's British screenlife horror film, unfolding entirely on one video call as friends hold a séance that goes badly wrong. It runs under an hour and stars Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova and Caroline Ward, largely playing versions of themselves.
