Now Zoom seems to be the primary mode of communication, providing the platform for everything from business conferences to family reunions to college lectures to girls’ nights. Like a lot of people, I had no idea what Zoom was prior to the coronapocalypse. This being a horror movie, the séance goes horribly awry, and the friends must figure out how to banish the evil spirit that they’ve unwittingly welcomed into our world before it’s too late.
A group of friends-played by Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova, Caroline Ward, and Edward “Teddy” Linard, who all use their own names in the film-get together for a lockdown séance, hiring a medium (Seylan Baxter) to guide them into the astral plane via Zoom call. Courtesy of Shudder HOST is an innovative, timely, and terrifying Zoom-based horror film that mines classic found footage tropes for fresh new scares and uses technological and logistical limitations to its advantage, creating a narrative that feels utterly of the moment and timeless at the same time.
