10 Recent Horror Reveals Nobody Was Ready For

If there's ever a chance to spotlight the wonderful Superhost, your writer here will take it. And man, does it have a brilliant swerve as this 2022 Brandon Christensen-helmed effort enters its final act.

For the most part, Superhost is a three-pronged affair centred around travel bloggers Claire (Sara Canning) and Teddy (Osric Chau), and the titular superhost Rebecca (a phenomenal Gracie Gillam). Our travellers visit various locales and do online reviews, and Rebecca's luxurious remote rental property is next on their list.

From its marketing and opening sequence, it's made fully apparent that Rebecca is going to be the villain of the piece, so there's no particular twist in that regard. The revelation that does come as a surprise though, involves the ever-magnificent Barbara Crampton as Vera, a superhost who Claire and Teddy have previously given a particularly negative review to.

Vera arrives at Rebecca's rental and throws a rock at a window due to her anger at Claire and Teddy. From there, Rebecca scares Vera off, and that's that. Well, until we meet up with the tied-to-a-tree Vera about 15 minutes later.

Here, we see Rebecca stab Vera as a way to assist her new friends Claire and Teddy. While the bloggers are left disgusted by this, it's soon shown to have all been a ruse, with Rebecca and Vera on the same page and this prank done as a way to teach Claire and Teddy a lesson about negatively impacting someone's livelihood.

While that in itself is a fakeout, it's immediately followed by another fakeout, as Rebecca fatally stabs a knife through Vera's face after Teddy dares to ask her a question. That's when the sh*t really hits the fan as Superhost turns up to another gear.
