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

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.

If you like the experience of watching a horror movie, then you'll enjoy the watch. The tension and violence in the first scene (you'll know witch) and the mystery throughout is fantastic. The problem seems to be they didn't complete the thought. What are these things? There are plenty of hints throughout, and the impression that if you knew the Bible front to back maybe this would make sense. But I don't think so. By the end I'm left with the impression that the filmmakers didn't have the complete picture thought through. I like a film that I as the viewer need to figure out, but I'm not sure there's anything substantial or satisfying to figure out here.

Acting was great! I don't know what a lot of these other reviewers are talking about.

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.

The movie started off strong and the "possessed" characters were creepy. However, there wasnt much of a story and the movie devolved into a confusing violence fest with no real substance. I was indifferent to the family and having violence for the sake of violence didnt help the plot. If there was more of a story, then the scares would have been more effective.

I think this could have been better with a bit more plot and better character dialogue and development. Bonus points for the ominous music score and a few decent scares.

An average movie that serves it's purpose when you have nothing better to watch

[5/10]
