I don't really have anything against this movie, but it's very average and I watched it because of the good ratings which are not realistic. This is more of a 5.3 kind of movie. There's no build up to the point when things start going wrong, except 20 min of people talking over each other and munching words (don't they teach at british acting classes to enunciate?). The summoning of the evil spirit lasts like 1 minute, if you blink you miss it. After that it's a lot of cheap scares. Some are well done but still predictable. The last scare is the exact copy of a scene from the first Saw movie when Adam uses the flash camera to see in the dark.
After watching Host I thought that maybe I didn't like it because I'm not into paranormal movies but then I remembered I do occasionally enjoy some paranormal horror when it's classy and well done, like the Conjuring or Paranormal Activity. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this movie, but if you have an hour to spare and you're bored, give it a go, there's worse than this out there.
