Conceived and filmed during the early days of the pandemic, director Rob Savage's supernatural horror film Host has been available to watch on the Shudder streaming service since July (and you can also watch it HERE) – but if you want to own a physical copy of it, RLJE Films has good news for you. Host is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on February 2nd, and can be pre-ordered at THIS LINK.
Scripted by Savage with Gemma Hurley and Jed Shepherd, Host centers on
six friends who hire a medium to conduct a séance during lockdown for their weekly Zoom call. Jemma decides to pull a prank and makes up a story about a boy she knew in high school who hanged himself. By doing this, Jemma inadvertently invites a demonic presence to cross over. Soon the friends begin noticing strange occurrences in their homes as the evil spirit begins to make itself known, and they all realize this night may be their last.
Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova, Caroline Ward, Edward Linard, and Seylan Baxter star.
The DVD and Blu-ray will include the following bonus features:
– Behind-the-Scenes of HOST
– Bloody Disgusting presents “The Boo Crew Podcast: HOST Episode”
– Séance with the Cast of HOST and Crew of /Film
I was hesitant to watch Host at first, not interested in watching another movie that plays out only on computer screens, but it turned out to be quite entertaining.
