Critics Consensus

Gracie Gillam's four-star performance helps Superhost roll out a blood red carpet for horror fans seeking delightfully grim accommodations.

Gillam is as scary as she is enchanting, and even though shes likely to stab you with a hunting knife before the night is out, gosh darn it if spending a few minutes with her is almost worth the risk of evisceration.

Rated: 2.5/4

It's slight even in its short run time, but it's anchored by an impressively unhinged performance from Gracie Gillam.

"Superhost" makes for a fun, undemanding watch with three committed performances, and a delicious cameo from scream queen Barbara Crampton.

Flickering Myth

There may be nothing totally innovative about Superhost as a concept but Gracie Gillams performance is the one thing about this movie that you will remember.

The perfect vessel for the talented Gracie Gillam, Superhost presents a wickedly wry and uneasy stay in the country that will make you think twice before booking your next Airbnb.

If only there were more scenes like the interview, Superhost could have been something more memorable. As it stands, the film is too familiar and one-note to satisfy, despite Gillam's committed villainous performance

It was predictable and has repetitive formula but somehow surpass the expectation for a well-acted thriller.

Really enjoyed the first half but it fell off a cliff in the final act. Everything that worked in the first half (the leads' naivety and Rebecca's weirdness) became cringe and annoying in the final act. There was a certain shot in the opening act (one of the creepiest images in the movie) that never had an actual real-world explanation by the end and felt like a red herring. SPOILER: and in the end, everything you're invested in is just thrown away so Rebecca can "win" and over-indulge her batshit craziness. I have no problem with movies that want to go for a dark ending, but I feel like that has to be set up better. It just seemed so First Year Film School to end it with "ohhhh, the bad guy won and your protagonists are dead mwhahahahaha!" That said, there is still a lot of good work here. And Gracie Gillam's performance is very good. It just needed to be reigned in at the end, I think .. that's on the director, not her. Overall, had potential but ultimately fell apart in the end.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

I liked the premise, as played as it is, but there's so much about this movie, especially the second half, that just makes no sense at all, and I found it incredibly frustrating.
