Starring Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb and Radina Drandova, and Caroline Ward, it features a group of friends who attempt to escape a supernatural force inadvertently spawned during a séance.
After a short prank skit by Savage which featured a handful of the Host cast went viral across social media, he developed the concept into a feature-length film, which was shot over 12 weeks directly on the Zoom software during the COVID-19 pandemic. The cast and crew set up their own cameras, lighting, and stunts.
