The Host is a fascinating movie that delves into the themes of love, sacrifice, and choice. The concept of sharing the same body and consciousness requires close attention to understand according to the viewers. The movie does not provide a detailed explanation of the concept of souls taking over human bodies which can be ambiguous to first-time watchers.
