Movie: The Host




I actually didn't think this was going to be as good as it was. The beginning was iffy with some of the memories, but it got a lot better as the movie progressed.

It's about a girl, Melanie, who get's "taken over" by an alien soul. There's one problem, Melanie resists the soul that enters her, and although the soul (they call her Wonderer) at first is trying to give information to the other aliens that have taken over human hosts, she soon gives into Melanie and finds Melanie's family and friends. They kind of reject her because she is one of them, but some of them catch onto that she's on their side sooner or later.

Melanie is in love with one guy, Jared, while Wonderer is falling for a different guy while Melanie is yelling at her for it. Do you see the same theme from the Twilight series? One girl, two guys... Lightbulb...

Well anywho, in the end, Wonderer helps them get things from the other souls, and then also gives them the one secret they have been wanting to figure out, how to take these souls out of the human bodies without harming the host or the soul. Wonder gets attached to the people she has met, just as they have gotten attached to her, which makes it hard for them all when she asks that they let her soul die when they pull it out of Melanie.

Well they get the real Melanie back, but they give Wonder's soul to a catatonic girl so she can continue to live with those she cares for.
