The Host (2006)
1/10
Don't believe the hype: this was terrible
25 November 2010
***SPOILERS***

Terrible CGI. Terrible acting. Terrible script. Terrible storytelling. Others have already written details on why it was so bad, but count me as another one who felt duped into giving up my cash and 2 hours of my life to watch this un-suspenseful, non-campy piece of crap.

The box contains a "review" that compares it to Jaws, but there is no comparison except that sometimes water is involved and the monster may be part fish. Part fish and part gymnast, judging by it's preferred method of locomotion. All of the characters continually do stupid things and then do them poorly. In the end, one guy actually mis-throws his last Molotov cocktail during the "climactic" end fight, dropping it behind himself. The hero of the fight is a nameless bum who is only on screen for about 40 seconds of the entire movie. Stupid stupid stupid movie. Don't waste your time or your money. Don't waste the bandwidth to stream it from Netflix. Move along; nothing (worth seeing) to see here.
