On The Merri Hour, Matt and Perri review a new Shudder movie shot during quarantine, Host. A QUARANTINE-THEMED horror film has left viewers chilled to the core and even terrified to attent Zoom meetings. It stars Haley Bishop ( Deep State ), Radina Drandova ( Dawn of the Deaf ), Edward Linard ( The Rebels ), Jemma Moore ( Doom: Annihilation ), Caroline Ward ( Stalling It) and Emma Louise Webb ( The Crown ). The movie is about a group of friends who have a seance over Zoom. As the subgenre expands, though, topping the horrors of a particularly boring Zoom meeting at work may remain too great a task. Host will premiere on Shudder, the streaming service for all horror, thriller, and suspense-related shows, on 30 July. It serves up a collection of classic and contemporary horror movies to chill you to your core. Host is just the latest horror film to take place entirely on computer screens after movies like 2014's Unfriended and 2013's The Den, though given how well this particular project seems to have worked out despite coronavirus production shutdowns, one can only assume many more like it will be on the way. Horror movie fans will find a lot to watch with the Shudder streaming service. Not only was the film produced during the pandemic, but it incorporates the coronavirus crisis into its plot, and writes that it's "nice to see that the first horror movie to specifically address our present hellish circumstances is as unpretentious and tidy as it is." Host currently holds a 100 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 14 reviews, with The New York Times saying Savage "finds a surprising amount of ingenuity" in the premise, while Pajiba says that it's a "satisfyingly scary picture," The Guardian says it's a "genuinely effective little chiller," and the Austin Chronicle dubs it "one of the most brutally innovative horrors of the last few years." The film comes from director Rob Savage, and the whole film was shot using the Zoom video chat service. With this incredibly fast timeline in mind, critics say the end result works surprisingly well. In the tradition of the very first V/H/S and Unfriended, Shudder is answering the call with Host, a new Zoom-based horror film from Rob Savage ( Dawn of the Deaf) that will premiere on.
