Reféns

Noticeably low budget from the get go, but it kept things simple to not overreach it's means. There is a great build up to the first kill that had me literally laughing out loud, so kudos on that. Afterwards, things fall into a pretty banal "run-kill-repeat" rhythm that offers some run of the mill violence, but little else. Some of the dialogue is a bit cheesy, and there aren't many surprises, but it's all fairly acceptable by b-movie standards, just don't ask too much of it. Truth be told, it took me three tries to make it to the end as I kept falling asleep, but I did keep putting it on pretty late, so that one might be on me.

So, it's not the greatest film you'll ever see, however HOSTS will keep you entertained and keep you guessing. Another review of this film stated the acting was poor, but in my opinion, most performances were fantastic considering the script. In saying that too, the story was unique and creative.

I popped in on, sort of as a background movie while I was working, and got sucked right in. I'd recommend to any horror fan.

Trailer was great. Really well put together. Shame it's no reflection of the final film. So thumbs up to whoever edited that.

For a film of this budget the acting was good. Some over acting in places but seen far far worse.

What spoilt it the most gor me was the completely unrealistic way people acted to certain scenarios. Which was often unintentionally hilarious, how could these people not react to how someone is behaving!? Fail. Because of this a supposed 'shocking' scene was hugely diluted and became more of a "meh" moment. (Especially with the over the top drama before it happened......intended to make us feel joy and empathy. Again. Failed. The script was quite frankly rubbish and nonsensical. Explained nothing and left you feeling unsatisfied.

The slow drudge of 40+ minutes before anything actually happened had me occasionaly hovering over the remote and ffwd button.

Positives. Some of the make up was enjoyable.

Sadly because of the poor script this film suffers and the hone invasion side plays.....whatever they were!?? It is all a confusing mess.

Truly unbelievable and bizarre character choices throughout the film. Acting that could end careers. And an underdeveloped idea that ultimately goes nowhere.

Poor scenario and also too much cliche acts from actors, not interested
