Instead, it became a phenomenon: Host, the word-of-mouth masterclass in frightful suspense, made almost overnight, that bottled the panic and paranoia of our pandemic year. вЂњIt was a project to stop me going mad,вЂќ laughs Savage.

вЂњCovid changed the entire way we interact so quickly,вЂќ says Savage, who recalls the strangeness of how вЂњwe all started talking about infection rates and death tolls the way we used to talk about the weather.вЂќ The director вЂ“ who before Host, had only a few short films, commercials and TV credits to his name вЂ“ initially planned to вЂњeat too much, drink too much and play The Last of UsвЂќ through lockdown, but he soon found himself in desperate need of a distraction. вЂ“ An explosive final role for a film icon Zoom was also largely unknown back then: it was not until March, when countries retreated into quarantine, separating friends and families, that the video conferencing tool became part of the fabric of our lives. Nor did the pandemic that forms the movieвЂ™s distressing real-life backdrop, with Covid-19 at that point limited to just a handful of reported cases near the wet markets of Wuhan. A year ago, the low-budget horror film вЂ“ about a group of friends who enact a seance over Zoom for a laugh during lockdown вЂ“ did not exist, not even as an idea in the mind of director Rob Savage. Host is a cinematic marker like no other of how drastically the last 12 months have changed the world.
