THE HOST (Theatrical Release USA 2013)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.4|5.0 Starsììì

The Host, based on a Stephanie Meyers’ book, does not measure up to Stephanie Meyers’ Twilight series movies. This film needs a serious overhaul from the ground up to become good entertainment. Nothing works in this movie even though it has terrific potential to be an outstanding movie.
