The Perfect Host: A Southern Gothic Tale

Whoever wrote the screenplay should have remembered to add a plot. Maybe something to hang on to. Something you could at least understand. This had a mean, bratty mother who stays at a house with a nice old lady and a creepy mean husband. If it wasn't for the music, you wouldn't have expected anything but good food and a cool old house to explore and hang out in. Then the ending happens. Spoiler alert. The mom looks in a book. I gave it 2 stars because it was filmed pretty well with their budget. I have to add when told my wife the last line, she said, "well that's what happened to the plot, they forgot to buy it."

No pun intended - we are who we are .. well and we mostly know who we are. I am curious about memories and the way we behave. Are we always ourselves? Would others notice if someone else came into us (stop it, you know what I mean) and controlled our body for one day? I guess it would depend on who it is and how well they knew us. Host you say ... well one way to see it, yes? Rhetorical questions aside, this looks good.

Depending on how you perceive low budget horror movies, you may be able to take more from this than others do. As you can see, it does not matter if it is Shocktober or not - I watch movies all the time. Horror or otherwise ... I reckon I would be a good host ... right?

This is a slow-moving tale that is hard to follow at first if it was done differently it might have been more interesting of a story. If you can make it to the end the story comes together to be sure to pay attention to the ending. I still believe if done differently the interlude from the beginning to the near end could have been an adventure to get to the truth. It actually gets exciting at the end of the movie, the grand old house and women have some surprises for you. The Culmination of the storyline is somewhat worth the interlude it takes to get there, the tale becomes complete a chilling ending in store for those who stay alert. All in all, for an indie movie it's not bad my wife and me tend to like thrillers, horror movies, and lower budget films.

Nothing happens in this movie. Unless it all happens at the end. We quit halfway through. The lead is not likable and she doesn't act. She simply mumbles her lines so inaudibly we had to turn on the subtitles. Don't waste your time.

Well, the budget for the film wasn't that huge, however, the film was quite good. So I gave 6 stars without a bad conscience!
