In Host, Missouri, the newcomer Dr. of Veterinary Science Eli Rudkus is called by the farmer Jacob Long to exam one of his cows. The veterinarian finds a strange parasite in the animal and sends it to a friend in the Department of Agriculture for research. Later, he finds the same parasite in a creek and he summons the population for a meeting, warning that the cause might be the animal food. However, Fletcher Odermatt, the wealthy owner of the local Host Tender Meals that has been providing free animal food for the farmers, brings his lawyer Hayley Anderson and discredits Eli. When a huge mutant parasite attacks Eli and Jacob, they discover that the meals are actually an experimental genetic cocktail that is growing parasites inside the cattle and people. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a familiar low-budget horror framework, relying on the tension between a small community and corporate deceit. It explores themes of trust and unchecked experimentation through the well-worn trope of a hidden biological threat.

What lingers after the mutant attacks is a straightforward, cautionary tale about the food chain. The practical effects deliver the required grotesquery for fans of creature features, making it a passable entry in the TV horror genre. — MovieFinder Editorial
