Four 23-year-old friends go on a birthday retreat to a luxury cabin, while partying, they find a VHS Camcorder filming them from the woods. During the night they are drugged in their sleep by a man in all black who stays hidden in the shadows... but when they wake up, they find themselves in an abandoned factory transformed into a gameshow-like torture room. Their captor is a deranged host in an orange-velvet suit with a terrifying mask who forces the friends to play games and hurts them if they lose. In a twist of fate, it seems this is not random abuse. The host has a connection to one of the friends and he keeps it a secret. He gives them all a chance to admit it was them, to set three free and kill the one. When his target victim doesn't come clean, the brutal games continue. To survive, they must play unique and deadly games that only a psychotic gameshow host could invent. The host laughs as the friends betray, hurt, and eventually start to kill each other. But the only way to escape... is to win.

2.5/5

[Your Host's] carnage is noteworthy, and DW Medoff's management of Haley is immaculate, yet there’s a sour taste left by the rest of what’s involved.

B-

Your Host pulls off some of the most creative stunts you'll see in horror this year and has an amazing third act that brings the film to a satisfying conclusion. Just don't expect to care for most of the characters on screen.

3.5/5

Taking inspiration from the Saw movies, director DW Medoff and writer Joey Miller clearly enjoy devising the most sadistic nastiness they can think of while keeping everything both jaunty and sharply pointed.

3/5

A blood-slicked morality play for the social media era, Your Host may not win points for originality, but it delivers where it counts — in guts, grit, and gallons of fake blood.

I can watch corny horror movies but it has to be exceptionally bad for me to shut it off midway. They have MULTIPLE chances to kill the old bastard but they just don't? Anitta's handed a drill, she can easily stuck it in his head but she just doesn't? Lets melissa walk around too, he's an old man melissa could've atleast TRIED to take him down. And then melissa is screaming at James for killing some girl like she know smth we dont? Don't know what the fuck was that about and then it's revealed she's fucking selling dogs to an animal abuser like lmao talk about hypocrisy and anitta acting like creating a web page the end of the world lol Acting is awful and we're freaking out at the wrong stuff completely, someone tell me who the fuck directed this so I can never watch anything that involves em because holy fuck. How did ts even get 71% on rotten tomatoes??? Y'all were paid the fuck off, guess all the budget went here instead of the actual film, calling this a film is shameful in itself
