Movies that feel likeThe Host (2006)
If you loved The Host, the closest films we have are Spring (2014), Frankenstein (1931) and The Fly (1958). All three share The Host's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931).

If The Host hit the spot, these will too

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath
The difference: Trades the stillness of The Host for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: monster
The difference: Made in the 1930s, in a different era of the craft

The same mix in both: stillness, then ideas

Both lean on dread more than on horror

Both keep coming back to the same thing: monster

Drama with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Contemplative science fiction in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Cerebral horror, and it commits to that

Science fiction built on dread, twice over

Drama built on unease, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into action than The Host does

Different title, same corner of the shelf

Both working the same science fiction territory
