How to Survive: Host (2020)

How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod   It's episode 231...and "There are no approved quotes yet for this movie" - Rotten Tomatoes   Host (2020) tells the story of a group of friends who hold a seance over Zoom during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. Before long (no really, the movie is only an hour long), a bad spirit is summoned and some video-conferencing-based-haunting ensues.   We discuss how restrictions can encourage creativity when it comes to horror; the importance of respecting the experts (particularly when there are dangerous spirits around); and pay tribute to that most overlooked of survival tips: turning on the lights.   All of which leads to one important question: How would you survive?   Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: the movie is truly only an hour long. So good. We should watch it every week.   Next time, we're hunkering down for The Lighthouse (2019).   Get in touch! [email protected] Follow us on Twitter! @HowToSurvivePod
