Also, there’s apparently something called “The Long Lady” that just sounds terrifying. in time zones around the world if you turn the game off before it’s over, the characters will immediately die. The game will be available on all the usual platforms (Nintendo Switch, Playstation, PC, and Mac), but it will only be playable at 10 p.m.
Per a Kickstarter, the gamer will “play” a TV producer for a show called Ghosts, which features a group of ghosthunters exploring various haunted locations.
The actresses appeared in a new teaser for the game, which also features creature design by Trevor Henderson and fabrication by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. One can relate to the fury the poltergeist unleashes, thrashing apartment objects about.If you’re one of the many who contributed to Host ‘s perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, you’ll be pleased (terrified?) to hear that the crew behind the pandemic horror smash are releasing a real-time, live-action horror gamed called Ghosts.Īlthough Host director Rob Savage is not involved, the game was written and directed by one of the film’s writers, Jed Shepard, and stars Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova, and Caroline Ward. As we sit at home with the devices that promised us limitless possibilities in our hands, “Host” identifies the uncomfortable in-between state we exist in, operating ghostlike. But while the unhappy ghost wreaks havoc, the yearning for collective activity simmers beneath the film’s lo-fi aesthetic.Ĭhanneling the spirits of the dead, on the internet no less, becomes a useful analogy for mourning the recent past. Savage makes common Zoom call interruptions, like strange noises and glitchy video, play double duty as both red herrings and supernatural disturbances.
As Haley (Haley Bishop) gathers a group of friends to speak with a medium (Seylan Baxter), the unleashing of an angry demon seems to speak to a collective id. Streaming on Shudder, the film makes easy observations about how the pandemic has changed the most mundane activities, but perhaps contains even greater insight. Rob Savage, the director and co-writer of “Host,” finds a surprising amount of ingenuity in mining the horror of yet another quarantine conference call. If the future of filmmaking is remote and socially distanced, a Zoom séance isn’t such a bad place to start.
