@@psycholyko6923 me too when James goes to do the numbers in 18:40 he gets a zoom call notification in 18:48 guess who show up but the ladies from the host movie and the prank video themselves in 18:49
Ah yes, the well known fact of "Nothing can hurt you if you're entirely under your blanket." Emma going entirely unharmed from the time she goes under to the time she leaves her blanket is the best part of this movie.
The saddest death in this movie for me was Teddy. For me it was sad when Teddy joined back and he's just playing around. Then he just died. It made me so sad.
an interesting note that I'm not sure the director and writer intended was that fact that whenever the group was away from the chat "Jack" couldn't harm them. Teddy wasn't attacked until he joined the chat, Gemma wasn't harmed when she left to save Haley and for all we know Saylen was the only survivor given that the entity didn't seem to want her involved. My theory is that when the group talks about the connection earlier in the film to them they created a hypothetic mental connection when in truth the chat itself was the connection. perhaps all of them would have survived if they all left the chat, breaking the real "rope."
I KNOW! Especially towards the end, when the demon started kicking everyone from the call, my frist thought was "maybe to sever the connection completely, they need to literally disconnect"
It instantly made me think of Hereditary- there's a great non-jump scare that's only scary as soon as you notice. My bf had to point it out the first time and I almost screamed in the theater 😅
@@skylerhall1537 spider mom😂 makes me really want someone to make an edit of all her creepy/possessed parts but put the classic “spider man Spider-Man does whatever a spider can” song overtop
@@skylerhall1537but yea it was creepy as hell. I watched that movie in pitch black in the basement and when I saw her in the background I got chills. Great movie
Caroline's death is one of the few examples of a jump scare in film that I actually think is done well. It's foreshadowed brilliantly and delivered through a very raw, practical-effects performance. Ted's death is also incredibly scary.
@Yumpus Grumpus yeah. He didn't fackin deserve it either. (None of em did, but especially him) He did nothing, and joined at the worst time. He was super happy and friendly about his puppet. And he gets the worst death too. Burned alive after watching his house and girlfriend get destroyed. Poor teddy.

18:08 the fact that the girls do an elbow pump to protect themselves from the Covid WHEN THERES A FREAKING DEMON THAT JUST A MOMENT AGO KILLED ALL THEIR FRIENDS always make me laugh
The funniest thing for me in this movie was when this girl is going to check in on her friend being attacked by a demon, and her first concern before coming over was "Shit! Forgot my mask!"
@Cody Hutton Oh no we live in a society where people... follow rules?? And... sometimes they don't??? Crazy!! Why do you think it's brainwashing or something? It's literally human behavior. Everybody isn't going to be a leader or a rebel or an outcast. Most people won't be those things. Most people work better with guidance. You can argue about the specific guidance and what it entails for society, but the other part isn't a mystery bro. It's basic human social structure.
I actually started laughing at that. Her zoom background was the best part besides the fact that Emma was somehow protected by her blanket the entire time
caroline's death was the best modern horror genre death i have seen in a while,from the moment we realize its a loop and to the head smashing text messages *chef's kiss*
Seriously I walked into this movie ready for a meh experience, given that the whole "screen-cap horror" genre hasn't had any genuinely great movies associated with it. Imagine the pleasant surprise when it happened to be such a relevant and enjoyable movie.
Unfriended was a big(ish) budget horror film, while Host was an indie horror film. I felt both were very well done in their own right, especially with Unfriended: Dark Web with improving some elements the fell short I the first movie. They both knew what they wanted to do and that's admirable
I am actually so glad I stopped the video past the intro in order to watch this blind. One of the few movies to legit give me goosebumps in recent years. This the good shit yall.
Caroline's death is one of those lowkey type of jump scares but hell, it was so disturbing and unsettling to be watched. I find it quite similar to the Unfriended movie I've watched before. The one where that guy was staring at a camera under and all of a sudden, his hands were already in the blender. Both were really great 👏👏👌
"I'll keep in the jumpscares!" Me, sitting at my desk with all the lights turned on, my phone a good 3 feet away, with the video as a tiny box of which I can hardly see enough of to get scared by: "Yeah, I think I can handle that."
i really don’t know how i found dead meat, but my god i am grateful. the comedy, references (especially the wrestling ones), the info given about movies i haven’t even heard of, it’s all just incredible. this channel was easily the gateway to the horror genre for me. thank you for content that feels made from love.
The most underrated thing about DeadMeat is the behind the scenes knowledge that they provide. I love the appreciation and recognition that they give the crew that bless us with these movies.
I decided to watch the movie before the kill count for this one, and don't regret it at all. I did not expect to be as scared by this movie as I was, but holy crap. These people did an AMAZING job with what they had to work with, like, this movie scared me more (and more often) in 56 minutes than plenty of other horror flicks have in twice that long. I kinda want to rewatch it in a dark room on my laptop using just my headphones to see if that sort of immersion makes it any scarier. Last two times I paused the kill count to watch the movie were Ready Or Not and Better Watch Out, and both times I was very surprised by how much I ended up liking the movie. I really ought to make a habit out of this, it really enhances the experience
@@yeet2787 Yeah no thanks. I'm not interested in seeing someone get all their skin removed. Besides, I've already seen a bunch of reviews for it, it wouldn't be new to me
So glad when people watch the movie first. I get that the genre isn't for everyone but you can never experience a spook for the first time again! The home setting works so well just now too, I think it's why that horror short/trailer with Animal Crossing in it was so effective too.
Let’s imagine this from the ghost perspective though. You’re chillin wherever, then all of a sudden you get yanked from said spotted and thrusted into this plane and have to listen to five drunk girls argue. I would be mad too.
SCARE COUNT 1:09 kid in attic 6:23 jemma says boo (not exactly scary) 7:23 kinda loud knock 8:08 jemma screams 8:54 haley's chair being pulled 9:50 creepy legs hanging in the attic 10:16 glass breaking 11:33 caroline face being smashed at webcam 11:41 weird mask says hi to emma 11:49 weird mask turns its head towards emma 12:25 radina's boyfriend alan falls from the ceiling 12:35 alan floating in background 13:55 caroline keeps facesmashing webcam 13:57 really caroline? again? 14:30 caroline flying towards webcam 15:27 fk this jumpscare 15:35 purpleface says hi 16:47 emma throws blanket on ghost and screams 17:54 haley's hand grabbing webcam (got me a little) 18:24 ghost flying towards camera (i sometimes hate you james) hope i saved someones life with this
Caroline's death reminds me of that one make-up video where the girl was doing a makeup tutorial then all of the sudden she gets this blank stare and repeatedly slams her forehead into the desk, getting more and more bloody as she does so.
Wasn't there a game or whatever it was called "Take this Lollipop" that tried that? it just had a distorted image creeping up behind you, it wasn't awesome lol
I find it odd that no one had the idea of praying or invoking the Lord. You'd think that with crucifixes and other religious stuff in other films (or the 2 priests in The Exorcist) someone would have had the idea. But besides that, it bothers me that they were playing so lightheartedly with something as serious as spirits. You never know what you're dealing with in these cases, and the outcome can be very dangerous, as shown in the film.
@@ХристоМартунковграфЛозенски I can earnestly say that if this were my friends we genuinely would not turn to religion or crucifixes just because they’re used in movies.
Five years from now people would pan the movie for being “unrealistic” if she didn’t adhere to the mask standards in the movie. That’s what I gathered anyway
@@joshg2800 No, he wouldn't The girls died since they were there when they actually did the big ol seance and did the important parts, plus the mask was made with teddy absent.
@@disillusioned6155 I can empathize with her considering she was just doing a prank, she didn't mean for it to go bad, and in the end she risked her life to save a friend. Was it shitty to do that during a séance that was meant to be serious? Yeah but she wasn't a bad person
@@floridafinnley right? She was flawed but so are all of us. She was a relatable friend who didn’t “deserve” to die. I feel like the chemistry of the actress’s really did the movie a service in this aspect.
The attic shot was so good. The slow pan with the barely visible legs that you could easily miss, and then the pan back. The tension it builds by doing nothing is great, and the feeling of missing something makes it even better.
I’m pretty sure Caroline’s death is a reference to a video called girl goes phyco during makeup tutorial which went viral a while back. The video was a part of a ARG/student film project called the15experience. Also the fact that you got the actual cast from the movie for the to the numbers bit is amazing
@@gianna7719 A girl is doing a basic makeup tutorial for a youtube video and while she’s talking, these weird images come up on the screen like of a social media site and a dark, empty room, but she keeps talking like nothing is wrong. Then suddenly her expression goes blank like she’s seeing something, and she starts violently bashing her own face into the table like Caroline did in the movie, but it’s worse because there’s no glitches or music to cover it up. Scared the crap out of me as a kid.
"Host"(2020) is an excellent supernatural horror movie! The suspense and the horror rise gradually until the final scene which is very scary! This is a well made and some moments very creepy movie!
Started watching this video without having seen / heard of Host, paused halfway to go watch it. That was really well done, and genuinely nerve-wracking. Gonna watch the rest of the video now to decompress.
I was waiting for James to come back on the meeting at the end of the episode, and just see everybody dead. Like that guy who burned to death in the movie
Why does UA-cam have an issue with the word Covid? I'm sorry I'm so lost....it's kind of a thing that's going on🤦♂️ whatever, we still here for ya James 🤣❤
The suspense and scares in this movie are masterful. Might be my favorite horror movie from 2020, just because it's so unique. So happy James covered it!
I'm so creeped out by the fact that I've watched this film many times and never noticed Radina's boyfriend floating in the background when she goes to use the bathroom... Holy crap!
yooo the hanging body in the attic is the best kind of scare imo. Right in your face, but at the same time subtle in that the audio track doesn't slap the scare unnecessarily. Love stuff like that.
Okay but learning all the safety measures and distancing they did for this movie makes me be impressed and amazed, a new light to this movie. Really impressed by what the production and cast managed to do with the restrictions in place at the time!
I watched Host before this video and I am SO glad I did. It was just as suspenseful as I'd heard. And it was REALLY cool to know about all the behind-the-scenes info. Also, though other people have already stated it, the "Let's Get to the Numbers" bit is easily among your best.
This movie really, REALLY played well with the idea of isolation in lockdown. It’s not only being lonely, it’s being ALONE in a situation like this. Really well done.
I expect at least one technologically inept friend joke in the movie. "Emma, can you hear us?" "......." "Emma, I think your laptop is muted." "......." "Emma, unmute your laptop!" ".....-ted. I think you guys are muted. Alright, I'm just gonna leave and re-..." 'Emma has left the call'
The actual demon design when it's covering its mouth was brilliant. Makes my heart skip a beat even when I know it's coming. So simple, yet so terrifying. I think the messed up mouth takes away from it a bit. Makes it look less realistic in my opinion, but it's still a good design
HOLY SHIT THAT GET TO THE NUMBERS!!! After Unfriended, I wasn't particularly excited to see another video chat film. But I've now seen Host three times and it's quite brilliant in its simplicity. Also, the cast is fantastic. ALSO, GAHDAMMIT GEMMA WTF CHARGE THE BATTERIES AND STOP F-ING WITH THE GHOST
@@bzuku9554 Well, idk about rare. But there are plenty of good/well-known movies out there where the cast either had unsafe working conditions, the women were harassed on set, etc. For example, the og Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a hella good movie but a lot of the cast threw up because of how hot it was..which isn't good for your body lmao
I once lived in the top floor of a duplex. This was basically a two story house that had been divided into two top and bottom units. We had access to the house's attic, which was only accessible through a drop board hatch and no ladder. There were three rooms up there, the room we crawled up into, a small area without a door that used to be a play room for children, and door with a rusted latch handle we couldn't open. I had so many nightmares about what could have been lurking behind that door. I eventually kicked it open, and it was a dark windowless room with nothing inside but a dead bird, but that didn't really make me feel any better. I was happy when we eventually moved out.
"Oh shit its the magic mirror from shrek!" I was literally so scared before and didnt want to move my body but James just made me laugh and it cheered me up. Idk just had to share that

The most underrated thing about DeadMeat is the behind the scenes knowledge that they provide. I love the appreciation and recognition that they give the crew that bless us with these movies.
I agree. I actually stumbled on this channel by accident and also somehow (if I remember right) popped up on my recommendation one time

Been watching it since Friday the 13th kill counts
I decided to watch the movie before the kill count for this one, and don't regret it at all. I did not expect to be as scared by this movie as I was, but holy crap. These people did an AMAZING job with what they had to work with, like, this movie scared me more (and more often) in 56 minutes than plenty of other horror flicks have in twice that long. I kinda want to rewatch it in a dark room on my laptop using just my headphones to see if that sort of immersion makes it any scarier.
Last two times I paused the kill count to watch the movie were Ready Or Not and Better Watch Out, and both times I was very surprised by how much I ended up liking the movie. I really ought to make a habit out of this, it really enhances the experience
watch Martyrs (2008)
@@yeet2787 Yeah no thanks. I'm not interested in seeing someone get all their skin removed. Besides, I've already seen a bunch of reviews for it, it wouldn't be new to me
First time I watched it was on a laptop. haven't joined a zoom call since.
So glad when people watch the movie first. I get that the genre isn't for everyone but you can never experience a spook for the first time again! The home setting works so well just now too, I think it's why that horror short/trailer with Animal Crossing in it was so effective too.
Would like but I don't wanna ruin the 666 like count, so ill just do this 👍

Let’s imagine this from the ghost perspective though. You’re chillin wherever, then all of a sudden you get yanked from said spotted and thrusted into this plane and have to listen to five drunk girls argue. I would be mad too.
Bruh if my Mario kart is interrupted as a ghost. I would brutally murder these people
Yeah seems understandable
That's probably how it's like for the cartoon version of Beetlejuice, lol (just replace the five drunk girls with one wholesome goth girl).
Bruh I'd be pissed so much I would throw them around
God I wouldn't just murder them lmaoooo
I'm joking. I wouldn't murder anyone
Or would I.

It's so cool how people can come together online and produce a fricken movie without ever meeting in person. So creative.
It really shows the lengths of creativeness a crew can go to so they can create a movie, show, or content in general.

My life goal: write and direct a movie that James will cover
I likewise share this life goal.

Who's down to collab on a horror movie James would be proud of?
My life goal is to pass peacefully and painlessly so I can go see my mom and best friend in heaven. So not everyone has the same life goal.
Caroline's death reminds me of that one make-up video where the girl was doing a makeup tutorial then all of the sudden she gets this blank stare and repeatedly slams her forehead into the desk, getting more and more bloody as she does so.
That video terrifies me lmaooo
lmaoo what was the name
@@meloangelic "Girl goes psycho during makeup tutorial", scared the hell out of me the first time i saw it
Yeah I remember that I used to think that it was real. Its honestly still really well done.
Is she okay?
“You have to hide a cough with a fart now instead of the other way around”
That’s actually pretty funny
Yup, that was my favorite line of the movie...and it is amazingly accurate, too!

Mmm yes the man I always see commenting on jacksepticeye
Wait, the ones where they act like "Oh I can't see him normally but there he is if I use my camera" don't count?
Then just play vr 😬
That actually doesn't sound too far off with the technology we have now. I'd imagine that'll happen in a few decades from now.
Wasn't there a game or whatever it was called "Take this Lollipop" that tried that? it just had a distorted image creeping up behind you, it wasn't awesome lol
The only unrealistic thing about this movie is the fact that she puts on a mask before going outside while being HUNTED by a DEMON 😂
I find it odd that no one had the idea of praying or invoking the Lord. You'd think that with crucifixes and other religious stuff in other films (or the 2 priests in The Exorcist) someone would have had the idea.
But besides that, it bothers me that they were playing so lightheartedly with something as serious as spirits. You never know what you're dealing with in these cases, and the outcome can be very dangerous, as shown in the film.
@@ХристоМартунковграфЛозенски I can earnestly say that if this were my friends we genuinely would not turn to religion or crucifixes just because they’re used in movies.
@@deamonnight955 I was supposing a pre-existent belief, not a reuse of a potential cliché. But anyway.
Five years from now people would pan the movie for being “unrealistic” if she didn’t adhere to the mask standards in the movie. That’s what I gathered anyway
@@eileensnow6153 Historical accuracy is important ! ;D
I was actually rooting for Teddy to not come back to that call. He should've just chilled with girlfriend & clown puppet.
Same, he didn't need to die
I think he would have died either way since he was a part of the original seance
@@joshg2800 I don't think so because he left the call and as a whole, the seance, before Jemma created the mask for the demon.
@@imbored3795 but he didn’t take the seance seriously either and he helped open the seance, however no way to really prove this
@@joshg2800 No, he wouldn't The girls died since they were there when they actually did the big ol seance and did the important parts, plus the mask was made with teddy absent.
James really got the cast to be a part of his pre-numbers bit. That kind of effort is why we love his videos

6:23 “not helping, Gemma”
The movie summed up in 3 words
I want to see a Host-esque horror film where they play a Jackbox version that has a bunch of deadly/terrifying games.
And then just Quiplash.
I didn’t know how satisfying a flat whole number of deaths per minute would be.
The last jump-scare genuinely scared the shit out of me
same
I ended up screwing my self over by seeing the time countdown at the top of the screen. As soon as it hit ten seconds I knew something was coming.
The one where the guy was going up the stairs really scared me. I almost screamed
what is the difference between you and the guy without a mustache? Are you him? Oh my god I fell down the rabbit hole
Can someone make a list of when all the jump scares are
Wow this is the only horror movie that I have actually felt like the actors were real and I didn’t want them to die
Except Jemma (not wrt the talent and portraying the character well, the actress was phenomenal)
@@disillusioned6155 I can empathize with her considering she was just doing a prank, she didn't mean for it to go bad, and in the end she risked her life to save a friend. Was it shitty to do that during a séance that was meant to be serious? Yeah but she wasn't a bad person
@@floridafinnley right? She was flawed but so are all of us. She was a relatable friend who didn’t “deserve” to die. I feel like the chemistry of the actress’s really did the movie a service in this aspect.
Tai Tai I completely agree
The attic shot was so good. The slow pan with the barely visible legs that you could easily miss, and then the pan back. The tension it builds by doing nothing is great, and the feeling of missing something makes it even better.
The way they made this movie from a prank.... beautiful omg that's awesome

One of the few kill counts that actually spooked me.
I’m pretty sure Caroline’s death is a reference to a video called girl goes phyco during makeup tutorial which went viral a while back. The video was a part of a ARG/student film project called the15experience.
Also the fact that you got the actual cast from the movie for the to the numbers bit is amazing
That's one of the most terrifying video I've watched......
Psycho*
Yo can you give me a summary of the video
@@gianna7719 A girl is doing a basic makeup tutorial for a youtube video and while she’s talking, these weird images come up on the screen like of a social media site and a dark, empty room, but she keeps talking like nothing is wrong. Then suddenly her expression goes blank like she’s seeing something, and she starts violently bashing her own face into the table like Caroline did in the movie, but it’s worse because there’s no glitches or music to cover it up. Scared the crap out of me as a kid.
I know that video! Also is your pfp danganronpa? If so which one?
Holy shit, were those the ACTUAL actors that James got to do cameos with him in the end?
+Tailslover13

@@bippywippyvevo8266 Yes
The dedication of your fellow zoom attendees to capture every violent thing happening infront of you without looking away.
"Host"(2020) is an excellent supernatural horror movie! The suspense and the horror rise gradually until the final scene which is very scary! This is a well made and some moments very creepy movie!
Caroline's death reminded me of that unsettling youtube video from 3 years ago "Girl Goes Psycho During Makeup Tutorial" really creative ngl.
That video was a part of an arg if i remember correctly
i was thinking the same thing!
That was exactly what I thought of! Both are very unsettling and disturbing nonetheless😬
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that
Wait was it real? Or was it fake??
AND YOU GOT THE ACTUAL ACTORS?? This is great
This is awesome
At 18:49
Anyone else crack up laughing when the bottle gets yeeted into Gemma's face? Incredible comedic timing.
It’s so funny and for what
Started watching this video without having seen / heard of Host, paused halfway to go watch it. That was really well done, and genuinely nerve-wracking. Gonna watch the rest of the video now to decompress.

I was waiting for James to come back on the meeting at the end of the episode, and just see everybody dead. Like that guy who burned to death in the movie
You mean teddy right?
Oh it took me a minute to understand but yeah that’s cool
yeah, just like the meme where a guy comes to his house with pizza and sees there is a fire
That sounds like it would’ve been an even better ending

@Pham Hoang Gia Bao which is sad... but shows, scumbags do everything for money scams.
This movie was so good that I didn’t even notice that there’s no reason for Jemma to take the laptop with her at the end.
The suspense and scares in this movie are masterful. Might be my favorite horror movie from 2020, just because it's so unique. So happy James covered it!

@@jasondean4587 Nop, it was an advert for a movie i think
@@SobiDani you brought back some mega-repressed memories you know
yooo the hanging body in the attic is the best kind of scare imo. Right in your face, but at the same time subtle in that the audio track doesn't slap the scare unnecessarily. Love stuff like that.
I agree
Okay but learning all the safety measures and distancing they did for this movie makes me be impressed and amazed, a new light to this movie. Really impressed by what the production and cast managed to do with the restrictions in place at the time!
I will be fair, a blanket protects against about everything.
I watched Host before this video and I am SO glad I did. It was just as suspenseful as I'd heard. And it was REALLY cool to know about all the behind-the-scenes info.
Also, though other people have already stated it, the "Let's Get to the Numbers" bit is easily among your best.
This movie really, REALLY played well with the idea of isolation in lockdown. It’s not only being lonely, it’s being ALONE in a situation like this. Really well done.
I expect at least one technologically inept friend joke in the movie.
"Emma, can you hear us?"
"......."
"Emma, I think your laptop is muted."
"......."
"Emma, unmute your laptop!"
".....-ted. I think you guys are muted. Alright, I'm just gonna leave and re-..."
'Emma has left the call'
Emma has become atleast a technological amateur because of the pandemic. It was either she got her shit together or faded from existence
The actual demon design when it's covering its mouth was brilliant. Makes my heart skip a beat even when I know it's coming. So simple, yet so terrifying.
I think the messed up mouth takes away from it a bit. Makes it look less realistic in my opinion, but it's still a good design

Yeah, this is what I wanted unfriended to be. Glad this turned out to be a lot better.
A rare moment when the movie is actually really good, and the actors had a good time making it. Thanks to James for showing us the BTS :)
is it really that rare? :0
@@bzuku9554 Well, idk about rare. But there are plenty of good/well-known movies out there where the cast either had unsafe working conditions, the women were harassed on set, etc. For example, the og Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a hella good movie but a lot of the cast threw up because of how hot it was..which isn't good for your body lmao
The fact that the cast is here is such a treat!
I’m beginning to think the attic has become the new basement in scary movies.
Yeah because more houses have Attics than basements, so making people scarrd of attics makes more sense i guess XD
I once lived in the top floor of a duplex. This was basically a two story house that had been divided into two top and bottom units. We had access to the house's attic, which was only accessible through a drop board hatch and no ladder. There were three rooms up there, the room we crawled up into, a small area without a door that used to be a play room for children, and door with a rusted latch handle we couldn't open. I had so many nightmares about what could have been lurking behind that door. I eventually kicked it open, and it was a dark windowless room with nothing inside but a dead bird, but that didn't really make me feel any better. I was happy when we eventually moved out.
British houses don't tend to have basements, so that might have something to do with it.
@@theirishempire4952 Depends on where you live, where I live most people have basements and not attics
Amazing that James got the cast to do the "to the numbers" bit! Loved this movie and Kill Count.

"Oh shit its the magic mirror from shrek!" I was literally so scared before and didnt want to move my body but James just made me laugh and it cheered me up. Idk just had to share that
