Your Host

51/100 4 young people find themselves contestants in a show where they're forced to play sadistic games for a psychotic host ...and that's all, folks. The acting was ok, albeit a bit over-the-top, and I liked Jackie Earle Haley as the host, who played his role with maniacal glee. The kills were quite gnarly and the torture was pretty unrelenting. They did explain why this is happening, which I guess was the films attempt as social commentary, but basically this was pure torture porn from start to finish. In that, they did well and it was generally fun if you like that sort of thing. --…

Saw without Jigsaw? The Host What do you get when you make the Saw-movies but lack the compelling nature of the narrative, tied together with Jigsaw? You get Your Host. It is lackluster, derivative, and sad. The kills are uninspired, the characters unlikable, the effects passable, the direction bland and the set/sound-design very middle-of-the-road. It is a sad bit. Cannot recommend.
