The Perfect Host: A Southern Gothic Tale

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!

Overall a very well shot film. Father Marian also did very well in his role, the references he did with his prayers were very well played, and showed actual depth in the role, and made the movie have an overall more interesting/mysterious aura. Good acting for father Marian.

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.

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 old fashioned (is it set in the 70s? Early 90s?), slow moving, atmospheric and mysterious. A huge crumbling mansion, a funeral, a woman mourning, a warning, mysterious motivations, a lonely child, thunderstorms and pouring rain. There is not a jump scare, thunderous sound effect or digital special effect in sight. So...not to most modern horror tastes. Production standards are high, though there are some sound problems with some of the dialogue. The ending is perhaps not unfamiliar, but the whole thing is well handled and acted. Definitely worth a look for fans of the Gothic.
