Trivia
The date on Teddy's phone is Monday, March 20. The closest year to this date is 2023.

Goofs
Claire and Teddy are repeatedly shown to have spotty cellular service in the house and the immediate area around it. So Teddy decides to chance a call for help by going outside the house.

But the house is shown to have Internet (albeit with slower upload) and appears to have WiFi(!)

So they could have used their iPhones to make calls either via WiFi calling or a VoIP (Voice over IP) app, used a hotspot from their MacBook, or even made a VoIP call from the MacBook in order to call for assistance.

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.
