As they attempt to contact spirits, we watch terrifying events unfold as they remain on Zoom. Trying to liven up their Zoom calls, instead of organising a quiz like the rest of us, they decide to conduct a séance (because they’re always a good idea). Host takes place solely over Zoom, and allows the viewer to watch and listen to a call between a group of friends who are all abiding by the guidelines and staying at home. Released back in July, this small film has been making headlines for its spooky take on the lockdown and the Zoom calls that have been keeping us in touch with our families and friends. But not just any movie horror writers Jed Shepard, Gemma Hurley and Rob Savage have put a horrifying spin on our mundane Zoom calls. We’ve seen lockdown memes, lockdown music videos, socially distancing celebrity interviews and now, we have a lockdown movie. You’ve heard it time and time again but when looking back on 2020, you just can’t help but express how crazy it’s all been! And as the whole world has attempted to adapt with new normals and a more distanced society, it was no surprise that it’s had a huge cultural impact. As if Zoom calls weren’t daunting enough…
