There has definitely been a major marketing push to make this film out to be something it's not. I'm usually happy to take a low budget into account when watching a film and look for what was done well, but there was very little here to appreciate. Read a five star review and then prepare to be disappointed. The script was full of waffle and didn't go anywhere - characters stood/sat about giving tedious monolgues supposed to inject meaning. The directing was mainly static shots that didn't even allow characters to move - a woman tries to direct her boyfriend (after a massive dialogue that should have been left on the cutting room floor) to lights in the garden whilst rooted to the sofa. A family watch a murder, rooted to their chairs. I liked the actors - though they had to squirm for what felt like hours in every scene to show their terror. The whole thing should have been done as a short. There's nothing original about the film and there was not enough story to make a film of this length. And not enough money to make it look even that half-decent. Then the money could have been spent on some polish and the writer would have been forced to consider what the point of the whole thing was. So bad it's bad!

I like to watch movies with few actors but they have to be well written and well acted. I like British humor, but it has to be humor and not gratuitous violence without content. I like Horror movies, nor do they need to have a big budget if well written. , I do not like films that put a lot of hemoglobin without real meaning and horrible performances with artists of third order, with scripts of dubious taste, there is no patience. this movie sucks.

This film is ridiculously good! Original, dark as hell and shook me to my core. for fans of strangers and funny games with a twist! a must watch for any true horror fans!

So, it's not the greatest film you'll ever see, however HOSTS will keep you entertained and keep you guessing. Another review of this film stated the acting was poor, but in my opinion, most performances were fantastic considering the script. In saying that too, the story was unique and creative. I popped in on, sort of as a background movie while I was working, and got sucked right in. I'd recommend to any horror fan.

Unbelievably bad acting. Very poor story line. Directors and writers need to count this as a loss of their possible talent, improve and move on. The actors/actresses will never make it big unless they take more lessons. It was like watching a Junior school play in every way.

Great fun film, not to be taken too seriously. Me and my Wife had so much fun watching this and made a great addition to our 31 days of horror list. Warning not for the squeamish tho.

This movie is a must watch! Story hides a deep, philosophical meaning behind a simple family story, all wrapped up in a hybrid possession/home invasion movie. Great performances by Neal Ward and Samantha Loxley. A Christmas dinner you will never forget!

This is one of the most accomplished indie horror films I have ever seen. It's very easy to watch part of a film and judge it against blockbusters with £££££ budget without any concept of the love and dedication poured into something of this size. There are some really complex themes, interesting allegory and shocking moments. Among that, there is warmth, humanity and occasional humour. All the while, a rhythm is maintain that keeps the viewer engaged. The cherry on the top of the blood-drenched cake is the sophisticated and thoughtful score. An excellent combination for a modern horror film.
