- 89Austin ChronicleAustin ChronicleOne of the most brutally innovative horrors of the last few years, and all done through windows on a computer screen.
- 83ConsequenceMichael RoffmanConsequenceMichael RoffmanHost is so clever, so creepy, and so effective. At 56 minutes, this is a lean and mean slice of horror, a fitting opening salvo for the spooky season ahead.
- 80CineVueChristopher MachellCineVueChristopher MachellConceived, written, shot and released all in the early months of the Covid crisis and taking place entirely on a Zoom call, Host is about as contemporary – and chilling – as it gets.
- Though not as dynamic as “Unfriended,” another “desktop movie,” Host observes uncannily the supernatural, ephemeral, and material worlds colliding together, gesturing toward an uncertain future.
- 63RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsRogerEbert.comSimon AbramsIt’s nice to see that the first horror movie to specifically address our present hellish circumstances is as unpretentious and tidy as it is.
- 60The GuardianBenjamin LeeThe GuardianBenjamin LeeHost is a lean, nasty little exercise that might not linger for very long but it shows what can be done during this difficult time. Once regular shooting resumes, we should look forward to whatever Savage comes up with next.
