A body-snatching alien takes possession of a young woman who refuses to surrender her mind, and together they seek out the man they both love as writer/director Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, In Time) adapts Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's New York Times best-seller. The majority of the human race have been possessed by unseen invaders, leaving only small pockets of "wild" humans like Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) scattered throughout the world. Upon being captured by the invaders, Melanie finds her body claimed by Wanderer, a spirit that has been warned of the difficulties that come with claiming a human host. In the process of inhabiting Melanie, Wanderer is deeply affected by her vivid dreams and memories. And when Melanie fights to maintain control of her mind even as Wanderer possesses her body, the sympathetic entity joins her on a journey that will reveal the unfathomable depths of human love and compassion. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Really good adaptation and well-done film. Acting was about standard for a teen/sci fi flick but nothing too bad. I loved the book and was pleasantly surprised with the film. Definitely worth watching

    I am Mrs. Thomas O -- 68 yrs old, a mother and a grandmother, and I loved this movie! Had I only read the reviews and seen the trailer, I would not have gone to see it. However, my daughter, who had read the book, asked me to go with her. The Host held my interest all the way through. It is NOT a weird possession movie. The souls are altruistic. Yes, they take over a body and push out the previous occupant; but at least with good intentions. It made me think of the fact that we are created in God's Image, but w/free will. The Souls in the movie eliminate the free will of humans. What if we all just worked on enlarging our God's Image of Love as we are, we could still work wonders on our world! See the movie!
