This means Saoirse Ronan has many scenes reacting and responding to her inner Melanie, which we hear as an ethereal voice-over. A Soul, called Wanderer, is implanted in Melanie but Melanie refuses to give up her body entirely and remains as a voice inside Wanderer's head. We meet our heroine Melanie (Ronan) in the process of being captured by a "Seeker" (Kruger) - the aliens hunting down the last resisting humans. That is, Earth has been taken over by aliens known as Souls, who take over humans' bodies. New Zealand-born director-writer Andrew Niccol does a good job of explaining the story's tricky premise. Twihards are obviously going to love this, but while there are story similarities, the genre switch means The Host at least looks like a different film. Much like its forerunner, The Host features a complicated love triangle, cheesy dialogue and occasional action thrills. The Host is another romantic fantasy based on a young adult novel by Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, this time of the sci-fi kind. Oh, do cheer up if you're lamenting the end of the Twilight saga.
