The first 20 minutes or so of this film are awesome, and then the movie turns into an unfunny and really dull chase/revenge story that goes on far too long. The film could have easily been edited down from two hours to 90 minutes and all that bulls--t about the lead character having a disease and not having a disease seemed like poor writing. The FX are good but some looked too digitally especially during the fiery climax.
Anyway, I would recommend The Host to monster movie aficionados but anyone else will be bored out of their mind. I was bored and I am a huge horror movie fan, especially Asian horror. I liked the Pang Brothers' Re-cycle much better. I would give The Host a C+ but if it was edited, maybe a B.
