She makes the friends feel somewhat comforted by giving them instructions on how to break their connection to the spirit world.
She says it is very important they do not disrespect the spirits. The medium named Seylan warns the friends that because they are not together, their energy will be weaker, which can make them vulnerable to possessions. RELATED: This Steven Spielberg Movie About An Alien Invasion Is Underrated There are a few minutes of the movie that are not shot on the Zoom call where we see Haley getting prepared, and it looks like some spirits may already be present from her past seances that have lingered around. This is the first time the others have ever done something like this, but Haley has already done this (in person) a few times. This week it's Haley's turn, and she has decided the group will do a seance lead by a medium whom she has hired. Each week, a different friend will host the meeting and arrange an activity for the group to participate in together. Here's the trailer for Host.This movie is scary because it has a realistic premise about a group of friends who are stuck inside during the social distancing lockdown and want to stay in touch by having weekly Zoom call meetings. His authentic approach seeps into Host's final product, making its quality all the more impressive.Īlways on the lookout for new horror/science fiction/dystopian films for Friday movie nights, I know what I'll be watching tonight.
In an interview with SF Chronicle, director Rob Savage explained that he got Zoom's permission to use their software in the film, taught the actors how to set up spooky effects with fishing wire, and directed their performances over video chat. Though Host takes place on a computer screen, it feels different from previous attempts at laptop horror because its principal photography actually took place using the devices used by the characters. The seance goes about as well as any seance goes in a horror movie, though Host is far from typical in its brilliance and unique execution. One of the friends, the uptight but justified Hayley (Haley Bishop), sets up the meeting as an "online seance," calling in a medium to provide some low-key thrills for her friends. Host's premise revolves around a group of friends meeting up on Zoom to stay in touch while social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
