However, the genre that could benefit, as demonstrated by Host, would be the horror genre. You’ve Got Mail would definitely be a fascinating remake using Skype, for instance. There have been many stories of how couples have used lockdown to take the next step in their relationships. There are probably only two genres that could actually benefit from lockdown, one being romance movies where you could have two individuals stuck in lockdown together, or perhaps only being able to communicate on Zoom. Filmmaking is near impossible due to social distancing and safety requirements, especially as many individuals have had to work from home during this time. Host is set to premiere on Shudder on July 30th and stars Haley Bishop ( Deep State), Radina Drandova ( Dawn of the Deaf), Edward Linard ( The Rebels), Jemma Moore ( Doom: Annihilation), Caroline Ward ( Stalling It) and Emma Louise Webb ( The Crown).The ongoing pandemic and resulting lockdown have had a major impact on cinema, with multiple films postponed and AMC nearly going to war with Universal Pictures over video-on-demand. I hope this is the first of many collaborations!” It was such a rewarding process and the final product is something we’re all so proud of. Shudder understood the potential of this mad little film from day one and totally supported us making it in our own way. “When lockdown began, I spent week’s bingeing everything on Shudder, so to find myself premiering a new film on the platform only a few months later is incredible. “I’m a certified Shudder obsessive,” added Savage. “What he and his team created in Host surpassed all our expectations - it’s a great horror film that cleverly uses the idea of a Zoom séance to fashion a story that’s uniquely realistic and terrifying, with jaw-dropping stunts done entirely by the actors.” “We saw a short horror film Rob shot during quarantine that went viral, and we immediately asked if he had an idea for a full-length feature,” said Craig Engler, Shudder’s General Manager. When an evil spirit starts invading their homes, they begin to realize they might not survive the night. Host promises to deliver “groundbreaking scares, stunts, and surprises” and tells the story of six friends who hire a medium to hold a séance over Zoom during lockdown, but they get far more than they bargain for as things quickly go wrong. Horror streaming service Shudder has announced the upcoming premiere of Host, a new Zoom-based horror film from award-winning director Rob Savage ( Dawn of the Deaf) which was shot remotely during quarantine with the actors in their own homes.
