As well as performing, the actors operated their own cameras and lit their own scenes
THE SCENE will be familiar to those who have endured the strangeness of socialising digitally in lockdown. A group of friends log on to Zoom to chat: some are enjoying a glass of wine, one goofs around with a virtual background. Then one of their number hears a strange noise coming from his attic. Egged on by his chums, and armed with a torch and his phone, the man goes to investigate. Suddenly something horrible happens; the man appears to lie lifeless on the floor.
Encouraged by this success, Mr Savage decided to try to put together a full-length horror film from home. When the coronavirus pandemic took hold “everyone was saying who’s going to make the first film on Zoom,” Mr Savage recalls . “Then no one did. So I thought: ‘Maybe I could do that.’” The resulting movie, “Host”, was worldwide on July 30th.
Mr Savage says he then called the friends who had filmed the prank video with him and asked if they’d be willing to take on another project. Fortunately those friends included actors who didn’t mind a challenge; as well as performing, they operated their own cameras and lit their own scenes. In order to prepare the participants and make sure that the script was realistic, Mr Savage organised a real séance.
