Host (2020) **Rating:5/5** I went into this film expecting that it might be a pretty mid experience. I mean, when you read that the plot revolves around a Zoom seance in the middle of the pandemic? LOL But this was an awesome film. I don’t know if it hit because I watched it at the right time, during a wave of horror films that favored depth in writing over jump scares, or if the tension crafted here was just peak. It nailed it. Props to Jemma Moore's performance in the film, she was massively unlikable but grew on me towards the end. The quirky zoom features/setup situations were pretty jarring but in hindsight maybe the familiarity of these mid-call tech situations really grounded everything and made it more believable. Highly recommend, I yelped during a scare and had a blast.
