None of us have much to say to each other, and we have all the time and desire in the world to say it. This new normal presents a problem for those of us fortunate enough to still have jobs and/or friends: Face-to-face interaction is only ever a Zoom call away, making meetings that could’ve been emails (or hangouts that could’ve been “We should hang out sometime!”) an ever-present problem amid all the soul-snuffing isolation. When an evil spirit starts invading their homes, they begin to realise they might not survive the night.Zoom, for all its privacy and security issues, has rocketed to household-name status in the days of social distancing, becoming the go-to digital meeting hub for personal and professional purposes alike. 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. Capturing a time we’ll never forget, horror film Host focuses in on a seance taking place over a Zoom call. It’s one of the most talked about films of the Summer.
