REVIEWS
"Host combines theatrical intimacy with the capabilities of the modern technology we’ve all grown accustomed to of late. The result is a slow-burn horror, as intelligent as it is chilling."
- The Upcoming
"Host is a thoroughly gripping theatre experience that has been written specifically to make the best possible use of the claustrophobic home tech that we have learned to live with thanks to the pandemic."
- Horror Hothouse
