The Host. Rated M (science fiction themes and violence). 125 minutes. Written and directed by Andrew Niccol. Based on the novel by Stephenie Meyer.
Verdict: Love conquers all when you have a soul.
In the popularity stakes
at least, something is going terribly right for Stephenie Meyer. Her
best-selling Twilight books,
and the big screen adaptations that followed, have guaranteed Ms Meyer a
generation of devoted fans and followers around the globe. The interesting
question, though, will be whether those same fans will give this film version
of Meyer’s best-selling novel the same amount of fiercely loyal devotion.
