The film itself is based on a short that director Rob Savage made at the start of the lockdown. This leads Seylan to fear that they’ve left something else through, something evil. However, she soon admits to fibbing about her story, but unexplained supernatural occurrences begin to happen to each of them.

As they all try to get back to focusing on the séance, Jemma begins to experience something and believes it to be the spirit of a boy she knew who had killed himself. Only a few minutes in, Teddy is interrupted by his girlfriend who mocks the call and signs him off. They each bring along a memento of a loved one, in order to connect with them on the other side.

For tonight’s call, Haley has a spiritualist named Seylan joining, and warns her friends to please be respectful and take it seriously. In the middle of a global pandemic, Haley and her friends have been responsible in quarantining at home, using Zoom calls to hang out. Entirely developed and filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Host is a tense, fear-inducing story that takes creative twists on the concept of “found footage” film. If your Zoom fatigue wasn’t real before, this film will certainly have you cancelling your future virtual happy hours. Their good time turns very bad, as they will open the door to something truly terrifying. A group of friends quarantining at home, hope to have a little fun one night by attempting to connect with the dead.
