“Dashcam,” the divisive horror movie from Rob Savage and Blumhouse, has revealed a trailer ahead of its release in theaters and on demand on June 3.
Per the official synopsis, “At the start of the pandemic, an indulgent and self-deluded livestreaming improv musician abandons L.A. for London, steals her ex-band mate’s car, and makes the wrong decision to give a ride to an elderly woman who is not what she seems.”
The found footage horror about a “noxious pandemic denier who flouts all contagion-prevention protocols” is produced by Jason Blum and Douglas Cox, while executive producers include Savage, Gemma Hurley, Jed Shepherd and Ryan Turek. Annie Hardy stars alongside Amar Chadha-Patel, Angela Enahoro and Seylan Baxter.
“Dashcam” follows Savage’s 2020 effort “Host,” another pandemic-set horror about six friends who hire a medium to hold a seance via Zoom call.

"She found us! She's here!" Strap in, this is going to get bumpy! Momentum Pictures has launched the main official trailer for the insanely scary horror film Dashcam, the latest from innovative genre filmmaker Rob Savage - who broke out with his Zoom horror Host during the pandemic in 2020 (along with his awesome 2-minute short Salt). This one is a found footage / livestream format horror film starring Annie Hardy as "herself" - she goes back home to London and gets caught up in some strange happenings there. Two friends on a horror-fueled road trip livestream the most terrifying night of their lives. The cast also includes Amar Chadha-Patel as Stretch, Angela Enahoro as Angela, Seylan Baxter as Seylan. This is one wild film! The livestream horror flick received completely polarizing reviews at TIFF - some hated it, and some loved it, but it gets so full-on insane in the second half.

Filmmaker Rob Savage says his horror film "Host" only had had a 17-page outline script. "I don't know how much these guys have gone over, but yeah. We had, I think it was a 17-page outline, so every day I'd kind of turn up on Zoom with the actors, and we'd have a short paragraph to describe the scene. The actors and I would basically have to rehearse it and do take after take, and try to find what was working and what wasn't," Savage said.
He added, "We'd kind of shape it over the course of two or three takes, and get it down to what you see in the movie. We shot it chronologically, apart from some of the scare scenes, which we shot earlier on. So, it was really helpful to basically be able to see the movie happening in front of us day by day."

Video calls have become a daily reality for countless masses in 2020, so it should come as no surprise that the first Zoom horror movie has arrived. What is unexpected, though, is that it's really good. Host was released via Shudder at the end of July, and it's been gaining steady buzz from audiences and critics. Need proof? Look no further than its 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. A perfect score is impressive for movies of any genre - it's even more elusive when it comes to horror movies.
Set in the midst of (and filmed entirely during) the coronavirus pandemic, Host revolves around a group of friends who employ a medium to conduct a seance with them via Zoom. No spoilers here, but things go poorly. A horror movie composed entirely of a Zoom call - literally, it's a grid view - could easily fall into cheesy territory, but with a runtime of 56 minutes,...

As someone who is extremely into online horror and found footage storytelling techniques, Rob Savage’s Host (which premiered this week on Shudder) was totally and completely up my horror-loving alley. With its lean and mean 56-minute running time, Host wastes no time whatsoever unleashing pure terror on both its cast and viewers, and I was wholly riveted and rattled as all hell broke loose on the screen. Make no mistake, Host is the real deal, folks, and co-writer/director Rob Sheridan (along with his entire team of collaborators) have pulled off something very special with their tech-infused nightmare.
Host follows a group of young women –Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova and Caroline Ward (all playing characters that share their own names) – who come together via Zoom during lockdown to hold a séance with the assistance of a medium named Seylan (Seylan Baxter). Their friend Alan...

Time moves differently during lockdown. But that’s actually worked to the advantage of director Rob Savage who has managed to create an incredibly timely, sincerely scary and wonderfully shot horror movie in 12 weeks. That’s 12 weeks from conception to its appearance on streaming service Shudder.
The result is Host, a horror set over a Zoom call that couldn’t be more relevant and more zeitgeisty, which will likely secure a place in horror history as a movie that captured a moment which, with any luck, will look like a bizarre blip. Though Host certainly leans into horror movie tropes that existed before it – you can see shades of The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity and Unfriended here – Host is put together with such ingenuity, particularly given the whole lockdown situation, that it’s difficult not to be somewhat in awe of what Savage and his extraordinary cast and crew have achieved.
