Overall the movie is slow. Things start happening that any person with an ounce of common sense would see as warning signs and leave. So if you want to see 2 stupid and vain vloggers go to a psychos house than this is for you.

Plot summary
Teddy and Claire, two travel vloggers and also a couple on the verge of getting married, are reviewing a vacation rental villa "owned" by Rebecca. As "superhost" Rebecca seems offbeat and acts uninhabited, they focus more on her to stop their follower count from declining further. One day, Vera, another host who went out of business following a negative review by the couple, arrived at the house to confront Teddy and Claire. Rebecca managed to scare off Vera with disturbing threats of violence. Does Rebecca have a secret agenda?

If you hate the vloggers in American society you should enjoy this.
OK but a bit disappointing
So, I was not expecting this, but Superhost is, in fact, the film from Christensen that I like the least (I really like Z and Still/Born).
The first act works really well, with some interesting modern approach and some good performances (especially Gracie Gillam) are there for all film saving it from being bad. I also applaude all the blood in the end, the ending itself and the courage to show us all of that.
However, I found the major plot twists really predictable, some similarities with other films who did better in creating the tension (Creep and Creep 2, of course) and some stupid decisions which were really distracting.
I just don't get why two people with all the knives they have at home don't decide to fight someone who has just a knife instead of running away?? And then what about all those times that they separated themselves when it's easier to understand that 2 vs 1 is different than two 1 vs 1? I guess these two vloggers didn't watch many horror films.
ok indie horror
Claire (Sara Canning) and Teddy (Osric Chau) are travel vlogging partners with their channel Superhost. They comment on various vacation rentals and Rebecca (Gracie Gillam) rents them their next destination, a house in the woods. Teddy is preparing to propose to Claire while she's very concerned with their falling subscription number.
This is a small indie horror. I like these actors. The plot is very simple. The tension is not that high. There is a fine turn here. It's not the most inventive or the most compelling. It's fine for a low budget horror.
