Host is fine for what it is but anyone proclaiming this to be a top-tier horror film hasn't seen enough to make a good judgement. The film takes place entirely over Zoom (remember that, Covid-19 lockdown survivors?) and the low-budget/found footage kind of appeal does make for some tense moments but overall, I didn't find it near as effective as say a Hereditary or even It Follows. Kudos for taking advantage of what you had to work with but this is a pretty straight-forward affair with a few jump scares and gives off a slumber party horror kind of vibe.

So 'Host' is a horror "movie" that was filmed entirely using Zoom during the COVID-19 lockdown. Some spooky stuff happens with a demotic demon and one by one everybody is killed off. It's like 'Unfriended’ but Zoom. There's also 2018 'Searching' starring John Cho, even though that isn't a horror movie. Basically, this concept of the whole movie taking place on a laptop or any online chat site isn't anything new. 'Host' doesn't add anything new to this concept and instead plays on predicable scares with no imagination behind it.
This feels like one of those "we need to get a movie out that's relevant with references to the outside world like masks, Covid, Zoom, etc." Zero artistic integrity, just boring and poorly put together. Just because its topical doesn't mean it's good.
