Fails to adequately explore either its characters or the specifics of its concept-driven world.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 12, 2022

Anyone who enjoys the shallow romance of the Twilight series will absolutely love this trash.

| Original Score: D | Sep 18, 2021

I did enjoy the film and despite its short comings in the story department I can recommend it to anyone who is willing to watch a film based on a book by the author of the Twilight Saga... you know who you are.

Quickly gives way to annoying gimmicks, unconvincing dialogue, and inadvertently hilarious situations.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 3, 2020

Ronan and William Hurt do the best they can with the material but there's only so much that can be done with it.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

It's goofy, corny, and oddly upsetting. I laughed a lot, if only to shake away how weird it actually is.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 27, 2020

Wouldn't you know it, interplanetary teenage love is hard. The film is also only as interesting as that maudlin young love sounds.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 9, 2020

The acting, as well as Andrew Niccol's writing and direction, are all awful; I can't in good conscience recommend that anyone see this film.

Lazily follows the same formula as Meyer's other works, but insert aliens where you'd think vampires.

The Host might have been stronger as a 온라인카지노추천 series, with more time to spend on character development and a gradually building plot, but Niccol's cool direction and his solid cast make is a perfectly watchable genre piece.

This movie stole two hours of my life.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2019

Inexplicably, The Host is another convenient Meyer-induced supernatural soap dish that wants to exploit the girl power movie-going minions with schlocky cotton candy amour nestled behind an overused gothic-oriented gimmick.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 18, 2018

So in short, unless you are a pre-teen girl with a less-than-C average, this movie is probably not worth your time.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 6, 2018

The film is dull and slow, nothing happens during the entire second act, the dialog is laughable, and the ending is the most contrived and utterly anti-climactic thing ever.

| Original Score: 3.5/10 | Nov 1, 2018

A dumb plot, laughable dialogue and bad acting, make The Host one of the worst commercial films I've ever seen. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Nov 12, 2017

The Host wraps up cleanly but it's clear from the ending that, all going well, there will be a second instalment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 9, 2017

Kind of like watching a toddler assemble a high-end bookcase.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 12, 2016

Those who found Twilight nauseating will find The Host has the same overlong runtime, cornball characters, and artificially pumped up romantic stakes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2013

The Host fails as a romance, but it also struggles as an adventure film. The body-snatching angle has been done before, and the aliens... aren't menacing enough.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jul 16, 2013

Oh, the silly movies we must endure. "The Host" is perhaps one of the most brain-dead sci-fi love stories to come along in many years.

| Original Score: D- | Jul 10, 2013
