Review of The Host (2006) by Edward K — 16 Jan 2011
Entertaining, Very! This is what monster movies are suppose to be like! Such tension and thrill. Nice suspense and dramatic scenes. Full of surprises and jumps left and right! Everything came together perfectly with the story, plot, characters, mood and the action.
Pretty nice acting! I felt the emotion of the daughter being taken away and the family just ....flipping out about it like that...maybe a little too much of causing a scene too. Speaking of that, the movie was humorous too.
I mean, a funny moment will happen when you least expect one to happen but it was ok. The plot and background story of the monster coming about was good too. I love the story of the family with all different backgrounds, personalities, traits, opinions, all coming together trying to save their youngest family member.
Then the star of the movie, the host, the monster, was tight! Creepy design and scary appearance. It has you pondering, is a mutated fish, salamander, what? I also like that we saw the monster numerous times through out the movie.
...unlike in Cloverfield....sorry. This was more than just an monster movie but a thrill ride and an adventure. I hope others that plan on making a monster movie will learn from this one!
