THE HOST is filmed in London and Amsterdam and is a suspense-driven feature film, with a core element based on when we come to crossroads in life. The film presents the consequences should we choose the wrong road, sacrifices which must be made, justifications made, but it remains the wrong path. You will feel the intensity of the spiral effect after a wrong choice, leading to a road one can no longer turn back. This film is entertaining and will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat.
