HOSTWatch
Special Event

Screening with a showcase of Lockdown Shorts


Lockdown 2020 Presents: HOSTWatch

You thought you were free from Zoom calls?! Think again! Join us for a very special evening where we will be playing host [rimshot] to the wonderful creators behind 2020's internet-breaking Lockdown-launched break-out film, HOST. 

We'll be hitting unmute on all the inside scoops and summoning a demonic director's commentary* that even Seylan would be proud of. Find out how writer Jed Shepherd penned everything so terrifyingly natural, learn how director Rob Savage pulled off *that* shot, and of course the question on everyones lips: are they #TeamGemma or #TeamEmma?

If you have a question you'd like to ask Rob or Jed, please be sure to send it to us. 

*This event will be a world first pre-recorded film commentary with the stars and creators of the film. It will not contain footage from HOST itself, and to watch the film simultaneously with the commentary as planned will require Shudder. 


This will be preceeded by a Short Film showcase of micro-terrors from around the globe, made entirely within Lockdown.
