Leave it to movies like Host, which made its debut over the summer on Shudder and is now on VOD, to remind us that, even within the safety and mundanity of our own homes, there are still plenty of things to be afraid of.įilmed over the course of just 12 weeks and set right in the middle of quarantine, Host is the "most 2020" movie to be released this year - and perhaps will remain the most 2020 movie of all time. Maybe a lot of us are so sick of it all that we'd rather go about our daily lives again, pretending it doesn't exist. For those of us who haven't been expected to go into work every day, be on the front lines fighting COVID-19, or have caught the virus ourselves, it's mostly been super boring and more than a little lonely to be cooped up indoors over the nicest part of the year.

More than half a year into a nationwide quarantine, the "2020 feels like a horror movie" comparisons have gotten more than a little stale.
