Oof, so much potential squandered on what's practically a family drama. It's got tonnes of blood, but where's the story.
Didn't care about any of the family, was just waiting for them to die.
It was all just one big incoherent mess of ideas wrapped up in a lot of blood.
If failed on all levels, even as a horror movie (it wasn't scary or interesting and had none of the charm of the original movies, or the TV series).
I kept asking myself: have the writers seen the original movies -t then imagine my surprise when Raimi was the director.
Overall, toothless, charmless, and pointless movie buoyed on the back of a once great movie series.

Host is a scarily effective movie. If you want jump scares, this is the place. It's dark, it's sinister, and it's just all around a great movie.
I'm overlooking many of its flaws because it was a movie made in lockdown, but it's way better than the sum of its parts.
Rob Savage did a great job here (far better than his more recent movies, which suffered from a bloated run-time and pointless character "development").
And talking of run-time, it's less than an hour long, which is a hell of a lot of jump scares. It's like a long roller-coaster ride.
Sure it's silly in places, but you can pull apart most horror movies.
And the criticisms on here are that the characters would just walk away. BUT, if anyone did that in ANY horror movie, we'd never have any horror movies. So you have to accept that the characters are going to open the closet or walk down a dark corridor, even though the lights are out.
And that's it. As a horror movie, it's short and sweet, and filled with the scares. Easily one of my favourite halloween horror movies.
