\"\"Superhost<\/em><\/strong> is a passably entertaining horror-thriller thanks to Gracie Gillum\u2019s performance as an imbalanced crazy person while the social commentary on vlogging is pretty fun to watch.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 2\u00be\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Teddy (OSRIC CHAU) and Claire (SARA CANNING) are vacation home vloggers who run a channel called \u201cSuperhost\u201d and, until recently, had become successful doing it. With a dwindling subscriber count, they must get more creative with their content. Cue Rebecca (GRACIE GILLUM), the host of their most recent trip who seems to have a few screws loose. But as Teddy and Claire investigate Rebecca\u2019s past, they unlock a horrifying truth and discover that she\u2019ll do whatever it takes to get a good review…<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>A lot of times these independent, low budget horror movies can be a mixed bag, more often on the poorer side of spectrum than great. So going into Superhost<\/em><\/strong>, I was pleasantly surprised that it actually is quite watchable. Sure, it\u2019s also predictable, especially in the finale given how most modern horror movies end, but still was entertained considering I have seen a few of these YouTube vloggers and the two actors pull it off pretty well, particularly with Claire\u2019s obsession with losing subscribers.<\/p>\n

Superhost<\/em><\/strong> was written and directed by Brandon Christensen whose previous films included 2017\u2019s Still\/Born<\/em> and 2019\u2019s Z<\/em>, neither of which had seen (and the latter didn\u2019t ever seem to get a domestic distribution). Nothing really noteworthy about the direction or the movie as a whole. I guess Gracie Gillum plays crazy pretty well and a kill she does isn\u2019t half bad, but otherwise this is a one-off viewing, but I do believe those obsessed with YouTube over-the-top vloggers might get a kick out of some of this.<\/p>\n
