The trailer for the new Shudder movie Superhost has been released. The movie hits AMC's horror streaming service on September 2.
Superhost focuses on Teddy and Claire, a pair of vloggers who host a popular show titled Superhost. The concept is innocent enough--they stay at various vacation homes around the country, get to know their hosts, and review the experience online. But when they come to stay at the remote woodland house of a woman named Rebecca, things start to go wrong. Although Rebecca is clearly very eccentric, she seems harmless enough--but as the trailer makes very clear, she isn't all she appears to be. Check it out below:
Superhost stars Osric Chau (Supernatural) as Teddy, Sara Canning (Nancy Drew) as Claire, and Gracie Gillam (Z Nation) as Rebecca, plus horror icon Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Jakob's Wife). It's directed by Brandon Christensen, who previously helmed the movies Still/Born and Z, both of which are also available on Shudder.
In a recent interview with Elderfanfilms, Christensen discussed the themes of Superhost. "It's a look into how willingly we are to stay in someone’s house, and how we really take for granted how absurd it is on the surface," he said. "You never know if the person you’re staying at is whom they say they are."
