Also watched, "The Witch" (2015). I thought it was excellent. A friend had recommended it. He said he liked it a lot but that it was slow. I think any faster and it wouldn't have had the same appeal. Reminded me of something Dante Tomaselli might have done if he had ever had a budget and a really good crew.

The Host trailer makes it look pretty good. I took a peak at Rottentomatoes and there's a huge difference between critics (25%) and audience (75%) scores. Critics calling it pedestrian and psycho ripoff, and how they hated to wait for the ending that was predictable.
Witch was slow -- poster child for the 'slow burn'. I agree, if it was faster it wouldn't make the same impact, as Alien and Rosemary's Baby.
