The Host (2013) 7/10

Starring : Saoirse Ronan, Diane Kruger, Max Irons, William Hurt
Director : Andrew Niccol
Running Time : 126 mins

An alien race that implants their souls into human bodies has slowly taken over the planet, with only a few still managing to resist. When Melanie (Ronan) has her body taken over by an alien spirit called Wanda, she discovers that she can communicate with the invader, and they begin to work together to try and help out the resistance forces fighting against the invasion.

This is n interesting concept, but it doesn’t quite work as well as it could have. The performances are a little flat, though this could be attributed to the dead pan aliens, and the action is sometimes slow, but overall this is a reasonable sci-fi movie with some interesting ideas.
