    unforgivably boring ...

    Absolutely b o r i n g ... The actors playing the elderly couple were very good but the movie is sloooow with no plot . Just a good scene before the ending . A waste of time.

    A solid horror movie

    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!

    We're all just guests

    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?

    Didn't make it to the end

    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.

    What a shame

    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."
