Host (2020) Review

Running Time: 56 min
Release Date: July 30, 2020
Directed by: Rob Savage

Review by: Stacey



Well, if this little cyber-horror gem hasn't taken the internet and the horror community by surprise! As some of you might know, we're in the middle of a pandemic that has been wreaking havoc on the world this year and that has resulted in many people having to stay home and work remotely and hang out with friends the same way. When you can't be face-to-face with your fellow co-workers (LUCKY...just kidding...kinda), or have your fun boozy nights out, you resort to the 'ol internet with some good old video chatting. Host decided to employee the use of the newly popular Zoom as its base and say "Coronavirus got you down? Us too. Here's something to scare the pants off of you!"

Relic (2020) Review

Running Time: 1hr 29min
Release Date: July 3, 2020 (US)
Directed by: Natalie Erika James

Review by: Stacey



Old people in scary movies are just downright...scary. From THE EXORCIST III to Rosemary's Baby and more recently, films like The Visit and The Taking of Deborah Logan (Ash and I mention this one in an older HORROR HUDDLE video of ours here), old people have been scaring the shit out of me for years. Natalie Erika James's directorial debut film, Relic, uses the theme of an older woman suffering from the onset of dementia which, apparently, is a really good base for a possible supernatural film. So here we have another scary movie with a scary old person, and I've subjected myself to it yet again.
