Anton Bitel Sight & Sound exposes a deep seam of dysfunctional fathering and familial alienation as the Hendersons's Yuletide dinner is violently disrupted by body-snatched neighbours, and home truths are excavated. Oct 20, 2020 Full Review Jack Bottomley Starburst Surely destined to get a cult following, alongside such dark twisted seasonal tales like Krampus and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Rated: 4/5 Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This is among the smarter and more satisfying films of that ilk available this Halloween season. The disappointment comes simply from the sense that it ought to have been something more. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 26, 2020 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Two fantastically committed performances from Samatha Loxley and Neal Ward help to make Hosts an entertaining and occasionally creepy watch. Rated: 3/5 Oct 25, 2020 Full Review Scott Weinberg Thrillist Delivers a decent handful of legitimately scary, shocking, and unsettling moments. Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Hosts may borrow from some well-known titles and is a little slow to start, but it is worth the price of admission. Rated: 8.5/10 Oct 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Mrs M Did the critics and the audience watch the same film? This cinematic offering was profoundly disappointing. The shock value of the sudden and graphic murder scenes had an almost campy quality, reminiscent of an old B-rated horror flick one might stumble upon on late-night cable. The possession scene involving the neighbor couple at the outset was tedious and uninspired, evoking comparisons to "Evil Dead" but lacking its engaging allure. Moreover, the film provided little contextualization, leaving viewers struggling to understand the motivations behind its events. Ultimately, it comes across as a tedious exercise in gore that received critical acclaim, despite being largely panned by viewers. I would advise against wasting your time on this film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Ryan W Once again I have falsely trusted a rotten tomato review and once again and for the last time I have been robbed of precious time. This film was so terribly written and poorly acted I came back to Google asking myself again why something this terrible would have even a single good review? I'm now going by a new rule that if rotten tomatoes rates it highly... find literally anything else to watch Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Anna H Truly abysmal film. Hammy, embarrassingly bad over acting, and a weak plot, with so many flaws... We spent most of the film wondering if it was a joke, and waiting for the punch line. A genuine waste of 90 minutes. I'm incredulous at the good reviews! Absolute junk. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Can't confirm all those good critic-reviews at all. Descent production value, but countless inconsistencies, pointless plotpoints, overacting cast for the most part and lifeless dialogues to say the least. A pain to watch at times. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review inta k quite boring and with some weird logic underneath it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review sean s The movie started off promising. It got heavily gory and intense not too far into it. Then, the whole jealous, pissed off demons/fallen angels deal seemed kind of a waste of energy and purpose followed by an unspectacular "there you go" ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
