The Host Trailer


Severely traumatized upon discovering the remains of extracted Souls, she enters a period of mourning, withdrawing from the group. She screams for Melanie to stay out of her head and Melanie's consciousness disappears. After a talk with Jeb over how the humans couldn't give up fighting for their survival, Wanda is roused by news that Jamie is injured and has developed a serious infection. When Wanderer realizes that Melanie is gone from her mine, Jared and Ian both kiss Wanda to get Melanie to come back and she responds to Jared and punches him without Wanda's control. When Jamie's infection gets worse Wanda and Jared sneak out of the caves together to seek medicine at a Soul-run hospital, using Wanderer's credibility as a Soul to gain access in the city. After this, she becomes a regular participant in scavenging missions. When returning from on of these missions, Wanderer is shocked to discover that the Seeker has returned and found the caves. The group managed to capture her, but not until after she had killed Wes, one of the cave's inhabitants and Wanda's close friend. Feeling remorse for the death, Wanderer finally reveals the method of detaching a Soul without killing the host. This allows them to rescue several friends and family members taken over by the Souls, including Kyle's girlfriend. She reveals the technique to the group's medic, Doc, on the condition that he not harm the Souls after they are removed, and secretly requests of him to remove her from Melanie's body and be buried next to Wes and Walter's bodies, another friend of Wanda's. The latter condition proves controversial, especially with Ian, who confesses his love for her



The Host Movie Review


Breaking all box-office records in Korea's history, The Host is a movie about a mutant that's a bit of a mutation itself; with unflappable confidence, director Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder) grafts droll humor and sly political commentary onto the DNA of a classic Hollywood creature feature. The result strikes a perfect balance between broad social satire, comedy, and honest-to-god horror thrills. In case we had forgotten, Bong Joon-ho proves that it's possible to make CGI extravaganzas that entertain without insulting an audience's intelligence.
Thanks to Americans who blithely pollute the Han river, a slippery, amphibious monster with fearsome mandibles, a prehensile tail, and an endless supply of surprise moves haunts the sewers of Seoul. The creature is designed by Weta, the New Zealand special effects shop responsible for The Lord of the Rings, but the heroes are 100% Korean

The Host Movie Wiki

Melanie "Mel" Stryder is one of the surviving rebel humans left after humans became extinct from the 'souls', parasitic aliens which take over human bodies, erasing the original occupants. Mel goes on raids to find food for her younger brother Jamie. Another human Jared Howe finds her and chases her as he does not want to be alone and kisses her unexpectedly. Wanderer is a Soul who has lived on eight other planets previously, Mel being her ninth body host. Melanie had thrown herself down an elevator shaft to prevent herself from becoming a host, while being chased by Seekers. Wanderer was inserted into Mel's body under emergency conditions after Melanie survived, with the intent of using her to access any information Melanie might have about other free humans like Mel's brother and boyfriend. This investigation is headed by an individual identified only as "The Seeker", who pressures Wanderer to produce information, and views her with implied contempt for her failure to do so. The Seeker pressure her into to going to Tucson to be removed from Melanie's body as it seemed that Wanderer couldn't access Melanie's memories.
