Review of The Host (2006) by Michaelz. — 29 Apr 2007
I liked it. It was good... Great? Umm, I liked the acting, the special effects were very good, and I enjoyed the soft jabs at the good ol' USA. ("Agent Yellow" drew a chuckle from the audience I was with.
) "Harsh political commentary?" I didn't see that, but I would have welcomed it. "Defies convention"? Pretty conventional to me, though nobody is safe in this film, which is refreshing.
If this was done by an American studio, with a 'star' headlining, it would have been roundly panned by critics. The principles here were excellent - all fresh faces to me, mixed a bit of humor in well with the 'horror'.
