I Watched the "SCARIEST Movie" of 2020 | Host 2020 Explained

Okay, but I kinda love the idea of the demon trying to get to someone through a VPN and accidentally launching itself somewhere in Turkey or Delaware, hovering over some rando like “oh goddammit”

This is why we don’t use zoom. It can easily be hacked by demons.

Jemma also gets points for masking up before checking on her possibly-dead friend.

What would happen if after she threw the sheet over the ghost she immediately clocked it in the face

"Nope, nope!" Is the most relatable quote in a scary movie ever

Another fun note about the movie is that the actors did their own makeup and stunts (the guy playing Peter is a legit stunt man).

Holy shit. I can believe the girl actually heard a scary noise and decided not to immediately go up there and actually stuck something up there first. Wow. I’m amazed. She’s actually somewhat smart.

But the scariest movie of 2020 is just 2020 itself

Someone dies horribly: "oh, that sucks"

My favorite part of this movie is when they social distancing elbow bump.

me and my mates were having a ‘zoom sleepover’ and one of them fell asleep, didnt warn us she talks in her sleep. this night she happened to have a nightmare and her hyperventilating in her sleep, telling us to ‘run’ and it was fucking terrifying. we learnt to mute ourselves when we slept after that.

I like that they went short and sweet and got straight to the intense stuff with this film. As much as I love the Paranormal Activity movies, what demon is going to spend weeks slightly moving things while people are asleep? Demons be demoning man!

You must cover all things Stephenie Meyer and Stephenie Meyer adjacent.

Not to be confused with the Bong-Joon Ho movie either.

I think one of my favorite parts about this movie is that the demon/ghost's only story it had was the one Jemma gave it, instead of a drawn out backstory written in a book somewhere in a library. Jemma gave it a name and story, which welcomed any demon/ghost to take that human identity and run with it. It didn't even have a motivation, just that door Jemma gave it, and that suggests there are plenty of demons out there that could kill like that if they were only given the power they needed. Maybe I'm looking too far into this, but it was a nice change of pace how the demon wasn't given a shoehorned backstory to try and make it scarier.

Well... 1. Having your reaction shots in this definitely elevates it up a bit and I really enjoyed it. 2. "If they're lucky, it's just Casper. If they're not... Well they're not." might be my favorite sentence I've heard today. Well done.

"it's different, because this is a spoopy spirit, not a scorned lover" paranormal activity: am I a joke to you

This weird idea occurred to me: I kinda want to see a horror movie in which the one ginger in the group is completely ignored by the demon/spirit/ghost/poltergeist...because they have no soul. That'd be funny.

I'm such a wimp that I got scared watching this summary
