Host is a scarily effective movie. If you want jump scares, this is the place. It's dark, it's sinister, and it's just all around a great movie.
I'm overlooking many of its flaws because it was a movie made in lockdown, but it's way better than the sum of its parts.
Rob Savage did a great job here (far better than his more recent movies, which suffered from a bloated run-time and pointless character "development").
And talking of run-time, it's less than an hour long, which is a hell of a lot of jump scares. It's like a long roller-coaster ride.
Sure it's silly in places, but you can pull apart most horror movies.
And the criticisms on here are that the characters would just walk away. BUT, if anyone did that in ANY horror movie, we'd never have any horror movies. So you have to accept that the characters are going to open the closet or walk down a dark corridor, even though the lights are out.
And that's it. As a horror movie, it's short and sweet, and filled with the scares. Easily one of my favourite halloween horror movies.
