![]() ![]() At first, when Caroline heads over to her attic after hearing loud noises coming out of it, her laptop’s camera shows a pair of feet hanging down from the ceiling. Many deaths of the film allude to Gemma’s description of Jack. But it was Gemma’s lie that tapped on the collective unconscious/thoughts of the entire group, due to which the demonic spirit gained full access to their realm and acquired a physical form to haunt them. Haley had already summoned the spirit through her past experiences with séance. So considering Gemma and Haley’s take on the paranormal, it seems like both were at fault. As a result, although Gemma’s story was not real, her lies manifested a demonic spirit that embodied Jack. This is when the practitioner warns them that lies not only insults these spirits but also allows them to become a manifestation of the lies. However, later in the movie, when their meeting begins, Gemma lies about experiencing something paranormal in her room and says that the ghostly presence claims to be Jack, a boy from her school who hung himself. The film also hints that Haley’s home could be haunted even before the zoom meeting. ![]() The biggest question that the ending of the movie leaves a viewer with is-who summoned the ghost in the first place? In the opening scene, it is established that Haley, who came up with the idea of setting up a meeting with the séance practitioner, had previously done something like this before. Even so, in its flaccid runtime of one hour, the film does a whole lot of foreshadowing and also leaves viewers with a little ambiguity. When it comes to the overarching storyline of ‘Host,’ it isn’t as twisted and convoluted as most other horror films out there. Unfortunately for them, things don’t go as planned, and what starts as a fun paranormal experience later turns into something far more sinister. ‘Host’ centers on six friends who arrange a zoom call with a séance practitioner in the hope that they’ll be able to experience something paranormal during the Covid-19 lockdown. ![]()
