Review of The Host (2013) by Joanne H — 30 Aug 2013
Waited to see this on DVD as with the frankly terrible reviews, could not justify seeing at the cinema however, having unsuccessfully trying to finish the book agreeing with other reviewers finding the battle between the wanderer and Melanie extremely annoying, I actually found this film quite refreshing.
YES it is never going to be up for an Oscar, YES the Aliens are not menacing enough and YES there is not a lot of action, BUT..... it provides an interesting twist on how an 'alien' can warm to humanity and ultimately, fall in love resulting in a likeable main character and a different opinion on the so called 'bad guys'.
