Review of Hosts

Hosts (2020)
7/10
It's a bit like Marmite.

As you can tell by the huge spread in scores for this movie, you will either love this or hate it.

For myself, I enjoyed it a lot and here is why.

This movie is beautifully shot, creepy as hell and has some seriously extreme violence thy I was not expecting.

The initial 25 minutes sets the scene and for me was a little slow however once the neighbours arrive the movie picks up fast with lots of tension and gore. I am sure everyone who watches this film will remember that one scene that just hits you out of nowhere with glorious brutal violence.

I personally found the acting to be pretty decent with excellent performances by the Dad and the female neighbour.

While not perfect, this movie is one of the best horrors I have seen in a while and if the $25k budget is true then this is an outstanding effort.

Overall I give it a 7. Enjoyable with room for improvement

I hope to see more from these debut directors and next time with a decent budget.
