Additional InformationA body-snatching alien takes possession of a girl who refuses to surrender her mind, and together they seek out the man they both love as writer/director Andrew Niccol (GATTACA, IN TIME) adapts TWILIGHT author Stephanie Meyer's New York Times bestseller for the big screen. The majority of the human population has been taken over by an unseen invader that takes over their minds, leaving only small pockets of 'wild' humans like Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) scattered throughout the world. Upon being captured by the invaders, Melanie finds her body taken over by Wanderer, a spirit that has been warned of the difficulties that come with claiming a human host. In the process of inhabiting Melanie, Wanderer is deeply affected by the determined girl's vivid dreams and memories. And when Melanie fights to maintain control of her mind even as Wanderer inhabits her body, the sympathetic entity joins her on a journey that will reveal the unfathomable depths of human love and compassion.

  • Well worth watching. Intriguing storyline.

    Great storyline, engaging characters... I read the book and only found out afterwards that it had been made into a film too. Very cleverly adapted, although some aspects of the story are not quite as vibrant on film compared to the book. Well worth watching.
