Host (2020)

Author: Horror Movie Club August 20, 2020 Duration: 54:45

Join us as we discuss the already historically significant Zoom horror film, Host (2020). This is the first major horror release filmed during quarantine that includes the coronavirus pandemic in its plot.


Every Friday, two friends with a lifelong obsession for the genre sit down to dissect a new horror movie. Horror Movie Club isn't about dry academic analysis or hot takes from newcomers; it's a conversation between two guys who have seen it all, from the classic Universal monsters to the latest arthouse shocker, and can tell the genuinely terrifying from the just plain terrible. Each episode of this podcast picks one film-maybe a beloved 80s slasher, a forgotten foreign gem, or a big studio flop-and breaks it down with a mix of genuine critique, personal nostalgia, and a lot of laughs. You'll hear them debate the effectiveness of the scares, the quality of the practical effects, the decisions of the characters (good and famously bad), and where the film fits in the broader horror landscape. The weekly format creates a consistent, engaging rhythm for listeners looking to discover hidden gems or simply revisit favorites with a critical ear. Tune in for thoughtful reviews, spirited debates, and the feeling of hanging out with friends who know that a great horror movie is about more than just jumpscares. It's a deep, fun dive into the films that make your skin crawl, perfect for anyone who loves to talk about what they just watched.
