Host Hey what's up guys.
Today I'll show you a Horror-Mystery film: "Host"! Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins in July, 2020. Due to the spread of Corona-virus around the world, the United
States ordered a pandemic lockdown. Since there's a pandemic, people are restricted from physical
contact to lessen the spread of the virus. However, a pandemic can't stop people from
talking with their friends and loved ones. Just like Haley and her group of friends.
This group of friends are planning to conduct a séance with the help of Haley's friend,
a séance medium named Ms Psychic. Haley sets up the zoom meeting on her laptop;
afterward, she dresses up before appearing in front of the camera. As she changes into
her sweater, she misses a notification of Jemma wanting to join the meeting.
Suddenly, a thud noise erupts from nowhere, and so Haley searches for its origin. She grabs her
laptop and transfers into the living room, when the closet's door in the hallway spontaneously
opens by itself. The closet's contents drop on the floor, which Haley cleans up immediately.
Haley arrives in front of the window, adjusts the blinds, and finally sees Jemma outside,
throwing branches on the window to call her attention. Jemma apologizes,
and then proceeds to ask Haley to accept her into the meeting.
Jemma joins the call by phone, and then expresses her excitement about the activity
they're about to do later. She then asks Haley if there's going to be an actual supernatural
occurrence during the séance; and Haley admits that something really happens.
Jemma shortly arrives at her home, and transfers into her laptop. Not long after, Emma, Radina, and
Caroline eventually join too. They chat, bicker, and catch up with one another for a moment.
Amidst their chatting, Caroline introduces her father, who wants to go out despite a lockdown.
Afterward, Caroline goes to her room, and everyone comments that they love her humorous dad.
Suddenly, Radina's boyfriend makes a loud cutting noise in the background;
so she temporarily leaves the call to settle it. While Radina's away, the rest of the group
comment that Radina shouldn't have moved in with someone she doesn't
know much yet, especially in a lockdown. Radina returns shortly, and tells everyone
that she's fine, and it's common for her boyfriend to hide in the bedroom after their argument.
The moment Radina returns, Emma plays with the camera filters to scare everyone.
And then, Caroline joins in too, by showing her self-made artificial background of herself.
Just then, Emma announces that her beardy friend named Messy-Beard,
will be joining the séance tonight. The girls proceed to gossip about Messy-Beard
and his shallow and beardless girlfriend. As they chat, Messy-Beard shortly joins the
call with his beards, revealing they are near the pool of his girlfriend's mansion.
Messy-Beard then brings the laptop into the mansion for a stable internet connection.
Afterward, he gives them a tour of the mansion, showing a puppet,
a fancy bar, and his Nana's red music box, with a little ballerina dancing in the middle.
Once everyone is settled, Haley reminds everyone her psychic friend will be guiding them throughout
the ordeal. She adds that they need to take it seriously, and be respectful of the process.
Suddenly, Messy-Beard offers a little game to everyone. Every time Ms Psychic mentions Astral
Plane, they're going to sneak a sip from their alcohol. Most of them agree, except
Haley and Jemma, who chooses to drink water. Before they begin, Haley takes a picture of them
with her Polaroid camera. afterward, everyone intakes a shot of alcohol, instead of hormones.
Not long after, Haley receives a text from Ms Psychic, informing that she's already in
Zoom's waiting room. So Haley announces to everyone that Ms Psychic is waiting,
and they're about to start. Finally, Ms Psychic joins the call
and warmly greets everyone. Then she proceeds by asking them if they've brought a trigger object,
that's closely connected to someone who they want to speak with in the Astral Plane.
So everyone shows their trigger objects to Ms Psychic on the screen.
During their meeting, Jemma and Emma intentionally ask questions about communicating with the dead
to Ms Psychic, in an attempt for her to mention the Astral Plane. They suppress their laughter
as they sneak a drink, because Ms Psychic occasionally mentions the Astral Plane.
Afterward, Ms Psychic asks everyone to light the candle, that's going to serve as a beacon for the
spirit to approach their circle. Then they're going to expect responses from the spirits,
such as hearing names and knocks, seeing faces and flickering candles,
or physical touch on their skins. Messy-Beard suddenly interrupts,
and asks Ms Psychic the name of the plane. When Ms Psychic answers Astral Plane, Haley plants a palm
on her face, because her friends are disrespecting the ordeal with their shallow game.
Since they're not in one place, they're going to visualize themselves as part of the circle,
with a candle in the middle. And if something happens, they need to imagine a rope leading
to a door, and then cut it to end the ordeal. During the séance, the girlfriend intervenes,
intentionally blows out Messy-Beard's candle, and disconnects him from the meeting,
possibly because it would be dangerous for him to sit his beards too close to the lit candle.
After the short interruption, most of the girls throw insults at Messy-Beard's beardless
girlfriend for being rude. But Ms Psychic asks them to focus on the circle and the ordeal.
Ms Psychic assures them that if someone in the group is possessed, it just means that
they successfully come into contact with a spirit, and can communicate with them.
So they avert their focus into the circle, and proceed with the séance. Amidst the
quietness, a loud thud erupts in the background. They think it's a spirit;
but it's only Ms Psychic's delivery package. Ms Psychic excuses herself to get her package.
She returns shortly, and instructs everyone to focus on the signs of spirits communicating.
Suddenly Jemma shouts loudly, and claims that someone touched her neck.
Jemma timidly tells everyone the spirit's name is Jack, her former schoolmate who helped her before,
but unfortunately died after hanging himself. Suddenly, Ms Psychic disconnects from the
meeting after all the books in her background fall off the shelf.
While Ms Psychic is away, Jemma admits that Jack is nothing, but a fictional character
she made up to fill the looming awkward silence earlier. Because of Jemma's joke,
Haley gets mad at her for fooling around. The girls take a bathroom break,
leaving their screens vacant, when suddenly Jemma's candlelight extinguishes by itself,
even though no one's there. After the break, they return to the meeting,
and Jemma mocks the séance again. She calls out Haley's name repeatedly,
and Haley shouts at her for fooling around. Tension brews as Jemma and Haley fight,
when suddenly a strange force or spirit stirs up a commotion in each of the girl's houses.
An invisible force pulls Haley's chair away from the laptop. They think Haley's making it up;
but she shows everyone that the chair has no cord to commit the stunt. Haley believes
they need to continue the séance, because they've already connected with something.
Suddenly, a faint noise emerges again. Haley checks her place to see if it's
coming from her house; but there's nothing. When they realize the noise is from Caroline,
Caroline timidly checks her place. She first examines downstairs and then the attic.
When she reaches the dark and dusty attic, she pans past a hanging corpse,
but it disappears right after she faces it again. Caroline immediately returns to her room after
the terrifying experience, and the next phenomenon occurs in Haley's house again.
Haley uses her Polaroid camera to take a picture of her living room,
and when the photo finally finishes printing, it reveals a hanging figure across the room.
The girls begin feeling fear creeping into their body,
as the terrifying signs appear before them. Just as they allow the events to sink in their
minds, Emma's wine glass spontaneously explodes. The girls are beginning to panic and break down,
when Haley finally makes contact with Ms Psychic on the phone, and relays to her all the phenomena
since her disconnection from the meeting. After hearing the details, Ms Psychic explains
that Jemma's mockery of the Astral Plane after creating a non-existent friend named Jack,
has allowed the demonic spirit to enter their séance circle. Ms Psychic also adds that the
demonic spirit might be a "tulpa", under the disguise of Jemma's made-up character, Jack.
After Ms Psychic informs everyone of the consequence of fooling around the Astral Plane,
she instructs everyone on the method of closing the séance. However, Jack,
the demonic and invisible spirit, interrupts and ends the call with Ms Psychic, leaving behind the
girls unfinished from ending the séance. Fortunately, Haley knows the process,
and asks everyone to remain calm while they close the séance.
After ending the séance, they sigh with relief, because they believe it's over. The girls begin
to do their own errands, but are still on call because they're scared to be alone.
Radina goes to the bathroom, and is surprised to see her boyfriend gone without telling her.
seeing his phone left behind in the bathroom, She goes to search for him.
Meanwhile, Caroline disappears from the meeting, leaving the artificial
background she made prompt on the screen. As for Emma, she goes downstairs, and sees her
camera filter hovering on the screen even though no one's there. While Emma approaches the filter,
the filter suddenly faces her. So she grabs a bag of flour from the kitchen counter, and scatters
it to see if someone is there. The filter is gone, but footprints suddenly appear on the
floured ground. Emma knows it's Jack's footprints approaching her, and so she bolts upstairs.
As Jack chases after her, the cabinets in the kitchen bursts open, causing their contents to
fly and crash on the floor. Emma is almost near her bedroom; but Jack catches her,
and strangles her in the air. Luckily, Emma manages to free herself despite the painful
attack, and hides under her bed blanket. Meanwhile, Radina is still searching for her
boyfriend, when suddenly he drops dead from the ceiling. After witnessing his death, she tries
to leave her house to escape from Jack. However, Jack drags her smelly ass back into the house,
and kills her instantly, leaving a drop of diabetic blood on her phone screen.
On the other hand, Caroline finally appears from her artificial background. But Caroline's face
is bloody, as Jack brutally smashes her face nonstop on the desk. Caroline cries for help;
but the three friends can only weep in disbelief at the sight of their friend's gruesome death.
Caroline's laptop eventually falls to the ground, implying that she's already dead.
Due to the succeeding deaths and misfortunes of everyone, Haley blames Jemma for messing around,
despite her reminder to respect the spirits. Jemma tries to argue back at Haley, when Jack
suddenly pulls Haley off-screen, drags her into the corridor, and closes the hallway door.
Terrified, Jemma leaves the meeting, and runs into Haley's
house to help her, since they are neighbors. Emma is the only one remaining in the meeting,
and a notification prompts on the screen, to remind everyone
that the meeting will end in ten minutes. Suddenly, Messy-Beard shows up in the call
with his beards. but his puppet appears instead in an attempt to scare everyone.
He's completely oblivious of Jack's wreaking havoc and death, and Emma tries to warn him
about the demon attacking them; but Messy-Beard assures her that it's nothing to be scared of.
The mansion where Messy-Beard stays spontaneously experiences a blackout.
Emma fears it's Jack's doing; so she tries to warn him again. but Messy-Beard doesn't listen.
As he confidently searches for the mansion's power switch, a terrifying demon Jack suddenly flashes
on Messy-Beard's screen, and attacks him. Messy-Beard manages to escape, and runs into
the backyard pool to warn his girlfriend of the demon. but he's too late as Jack lifts the heavy
girl up in the air, breaks her chick neck, and drops her in the pool. Overwhelmed with fear,
Messy-Beard flees from the mansion and into the dark field. With no source of light, he
uses a lighter to shed light on the road. However, across the field, his music box from the mansion
appears on the ground, and plays a tune, implying that Jack is there. Jack knocks Messy-Beard
unconscious, and the fire from the lighter swallows and burns his whole beard and body.
Emma cries because she's frightened and alone. Suddenly, Emma's bedroom door opens by itself.
to check if Jack is in her room, she throws her blanket at the space. The blanket does land on
Jack, revealing its figure in the doorway. Scared of whatever Jack's ways to kill her,
she opens her bedroom window to escape; but instead, she lands on
the backyard chairs, leading her to death. The movie ends with Jemma arriving at Haley's
home. Jemma checks Haley's laptop where she sees everyone is dead. Suddenly, Jack cracks
a glass bottle at her head, causing her to fall to the ground. Jack moves the laptop, revealing a
wounded Jemma on the floor. Jemma opens her phone to connect to the meeting, showing the cabinets
bursting open, and their contents dropping carelessly on the floor to scare her. Luckily,
Jemma manages to stand to search for Haley. Eventually, Jemma finds Haley hiding under her
bedroom desk. The two surviving friends use the Polaroid camera to produce a flash to light the
dark house. However, when they reach the doorway into the living room, Jack appears without notice,
and lunges at the two friends. Right after Jack attacks them, the Zoom meeting timer expires,
and a long list of the mysterious attendants is shown on the screen!
