Critics Consensus: Poorly scripted and dramatically ineffective, The Host is mostly stale and tedious, with moments of unintentional hilarity.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

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

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

Battleship Pretension

Sarah Brinks

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.

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