Review of The Host (2006) by Dinjerrd. — 14 Jan 2008
At first I watched it as a monster film, which despite the latest effort by WETA at the time, wasn't that remarkable. But once the realisation kicks in that the actual thing driving the movie is the black humour, you'll begin to enjoy it for what it is.
Truly successful in constantly breaking your expectations of what's about to happen right to the end. (this includes the protaganist surviving the lobotomy, you sure expected him to come out retarded, didn't you?).
Those searching for true comedy/monsters/action movies should go elsewhere, this movie is for those searching for dark humour and something different than the standard Hollywood plotlines.
