Gimmicks – whether it’s the impressive tracking shots of 1917 (2019) or the shaky camcorder of Cloverfield (2008) – are always initially interesting, until they’re not, and then they become a distraction to the story.

Telling the story entirely through video calls and cameras was a restriction deliberately enforced to make everything seem as clever and immediate as possible. The problem with this is that the desktop gimmick becomes harder to shake off the further along the film goes. Two years ago we had Aneesh Chaganty’s surprisingly emotional thriller Searching (2018), which worked on the strength of John Cho’s performance and the film’s craft. When done well, found-footage films offer a level of intimacy that you just don’t get from anything else. The premise is simple: a group of bored friends conduct a séance through their laptop screens during a pandemic. The credit goes to British director Rob Savage’s ingenious Zoom-based horror and Shudder Original, Host. The pandemic has taught us many things, and now we know that Zoom calling a demon is conclusively a bad idea.
