Hosts

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.

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]

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

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.
