The Host

This film starts with an interesting premise but quickly spirals toward the absurd when two unrelated story lines intersect, at a place where the viewer should just stop watching.

If the intent of the film was to have a plotless outcome - it's succeeded, and as improbable as the story-line is, it is somewhat plausible. The characters are underdeveloped and lack history or purpose, almost like being stuck in an airport and people watching.

A good idea badly executed.

What a mess I guess it's my fault for not being thorough, I wanted to watch the movie Host (2020) and ended up watching this instead... Don't make the same mistake I did, this is a trainwreck, poor all the way around, except perhaps good filming equipment... Acting IMHO was flat and kinda rubbish, dialogue started kind of alright then went downhill from 1/4 of the movie and plot was stolen from another famous movie (the decent part), characters were lame and like half of the plot they didn't steal was also a trainwreck, they dropped part of the plot halfway through and went with the stolen one from that point on... I don't know what else to say, find something else to watch, you've been warned.

This film looks good with London and Amsterdam locations, has some good performances, but is seriously let down by a fragmented and disjointed story. What starts as a thriller turns into a horror film about half way through, it's like watching two separate movies in the one.

This film had potential, all the film-makers needed to do was keep the plot consistent. The whole experience is ultimately unrewarding and disappointing. Perhaps they were trying to make it quirky, but it just comes across as silly.

This film is best avoided.

The Host, what I always wrong with this film is the name. The name "The Host" always makes me think of that film having the name written by Stephenie Meyer (novel). So, before I watch this film and before I read the plot, I thought this film is a remake of that film or something like that. But I was completely wrong. It's not a remake and the plot is a total different one.

The film started with a boring beginning. I was feeling very bored and sleepy when the film started. Even some minutes passed, it's not getting to the main point. So, I even thought of stop watching. But when I was about to stop, the main part came up and caught my attention. It was kind of interesting, so, I kept watching instead.

Throughout the film, I was feeling something's off. But I didn't know what it was. After the film finished and I ate my dinner. When I was washing my hands after my dinner, something hit me. What wrong with this film was the performances of actors and actresses. The acting of actors and actresses in this film is kind of not that good compared to the other films. Furthermore, the film gives me some feeling of it's made with a very low budget. So, yeah, the film is quite low in quality compared to the other famous films.

In conclusion, The Host is currently a normal film. The plot is kind of mysterious, and also, it's a bit disgusting at the same time. I'm glad that I didn't watch this film when I was eating. If I was, well, I might throw up if I see that particular scene. Anyway, it would be better if they could improve the acting and make it less boring somehow. Right now, it's kind of watchable, but for one time watch only.

This movie had a lot of potential. The trailer was great and the movie had a decent storyline. It's too bad that the acting ruined it. Especially the actress who played Verra, she was just bad. Whoever casted her ruined the movie. Should of picked a stronger actress, possibly could of saved the film.
