When an evil spirit starts invading their homes, they begin to realise they might not survive the night. Six friends hire a medium to hold a seance via Zoom during lockdown, but they get far more than they bargained for as things quickly go wrong. Watch the full interview with Rob Savage below: We dig deep into the logistics of the shoot, and we also ponder how bright a future Savage has in this industry as he’s soon to be teaming up with no other than horror maestro Sam Raimi. Funnily enough, it was via Zoom.īelow he talks about when he and co-writers Jed Shepherd and Gemma Hurley had this idea, and he also comments on how thrilled he has been with the film’s incredible – and richly deserved – response. To celebrate the film’s release – via Shudder – and subsequent success, we spoke to the director Rob Savage. It’s innovative, resourceful and most importantly, really frickin’ scary. It features the same characters from his award-winning 2017 film One Cut of the Dead, which has one shot that was 37-minutes long. Capturing a time we’ll never forget, horror film Host focuses in on a seance taking place over a Zoom call. A comedic horror film centered around teleworking, One Cut of the Dead Mission: Remote was released earlier this year and shared for free on YouTube. Spending equal time on the victims and Michelle’s story, this miniseries gets under the skin.It’s one of the most talked about films of the Summer. He had been operating much longer than anyone knew. “I’ll be Gone in The Dark” (HBO): Comedian Patton Oswalt’s wife Michelle became obsessed with a string of rapes in the 1970s, which led to the discovery that the East Area Rapist was actually the Golden State Killer. Frequently jumping between past and present, the series is addicting no matter the time period. “The Woods” (Netflix): While working a difficult case, a Polish lawyer has a horrible incident from his youth dredged up when a body is discovered. With a few scares and a pulsing soundscape, this is another Stephen King miniseries homerun. “The Outsider” (HBO): The setup involves one of the most creative, bizarre whodunits I’ve ever seen. After watching “Host,” your next Zoom meeting will feel much different. Though not even an hour long, “Host” feels like a full-length film. The film deftly uses the split-screen nature of Zoom for perfect setups. When things go wrong, the suspense and jump scares intensify.
