The Host is a 2013 romantic science-fiction movie, based on a script by Stephenie Meyer, who also wrote Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon. The story is set in a not-too distant future, when Earth has been taken over by Souls, a non-corporal alien race who occupy human bodies.

One of the human survivors, Melanie (Saoirse Ronan), sets out to find her boyfriend Jared (Max Irons). Before she can do so, Melanie is caught by The Seeker (Diane Kruger), who inserts Soul Wanda into her head. Melanie convinces Wanda to escape and the two of them (in one body) face an uncertain future.


The following weapons can be seen in the movie The Host:


Glock 17

A Glock 17 with stainless steel slide and front serrations is used prominently in the movie. It is used by a member of the resistance, by The Seeker (Diane Kruger) and in the final scene by Melanie’s boyfriend Jared (Max Irons).

Strayer Voigt Infinity

In the final scene, a Seeker carries a customized Strayer Voigt Infinity as he checks a car transporting members of the resistance. It’s probably the same gun used on all seasons of the TV show Heroes.
