The Host Film Review.

Yesterday I spent a lovely evening at my boyfriend’s house, having a film night. 

One of the films we watched was 'The Host'. I had never heard of it before, nor had I watched the trailer for it. So From the name I deduced it was a going to be a scary, gory, futuristic, horror type film, all about how Earth is going to get taken over and people having to fight to survive the parasitic aliens.

So after a dramatic start with a chase and a suicide, I soon started to realize... This is a chick flick... a chick flick about parasitic aliens, taking over humans, and them, then, producing symptoms of schizophrenia by talking to the voice (the mind of the human) in their head...

I was in shock as it was dawning on me. I felt so mislead, and a little disappointed. That said I did not dislike the film at all as far as chick flicks go; it was a interesting and definitely unexpected twist upon the first realisation. I just wished it was a bit more about the struggle between the human and aliens, rather than the relationships between specific people.

As you may have guessed I am not a big fan of chick flicks, but If you are it's a very interesting take on the blossoming of love between unlikely people (Using the word people loosely!).

Without giving to much away, it all ends up with a happy ending, lots of love and peace. 

I would give this film a solid...

3 out of 5! 

It's worth a look, even if it's not what it first seems! 

Lots of love,
