We follow six friends – Haley, Jemma, Emma, Radina, Caroline and Teddy – who liven up their weekly video call catchup by holding a socially-distanced seance over Zoom. It may be short, but by golly is it scary. Host is a horror film presented to us entirely over a Zoom call, with all the limitations from the time cap to the narrow field of view that this brings. These services have connected us with our work colleagues, and more importantly our friends and family, as we’ve all adapted to living and working from our own homes.įilms that incorporate technological artifice to enhance their storytelling are no new thing ( Searching and Unfriended: Dark Web were both released in 2018, while found footage horror dominated the previous decade), but a worldwide pandemic has forced filmmakers to get creative in order to keep releasing new projects.

Starring: Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova, Caroline Ward, Edward Linard, Seylan BaxterĢ020 has changed the way the world communicates, perhaps irrevocably. Screenwriters: Gemma Hurley, Jed Shepherd, Rob Savage
