The critical consensus

Though it trips over ridiculous, earnest romantic scenes – which will provoke callous giggles – and has a plot which collapses during the many slow spots when you have time to think about it, The Host isn’t completely dreadful. Ronan may be so on fire just now she can make just about anything work, but this still manages to rise above its source and be a half-way decent science fiction film.

Dour nonsense, plus inter-species snogging.

**(*)(*)(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 31/03/2013

This Stephenie Meyer-adapted sci-fi has some good ideas let down by dull scripting and wooden acting.
