Another “more than awesome” asian movie has leaked into european and american waters. The Host or “Gwoemul” in the original name is a really emotional mixture of almost all movie genres, from thriller to romantic comedy, and from sci-fi to fantasy. The IMDB rating of 7.5/10 isn’t obviously casual - the reviewers are also amazed from this work and it totally won box office numbers in Korea few weeks ago. Try it, you will not regret it…
There have been an abundance of monster movies over the years, where some kind of horribly mutated creature emerges from the depths to wreak havoc on a terrified city, that viewers familiar with the genre may feel that it has no more surprises up its sleeve. Well, prepare to be surprised by The Host, a movie which inventively re-configures the genre.

Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) works at a food-stand on the banks of the Han River. Dozing on the job, he is awakened by his daughter, Hyun-seo ( Ah-sung Ko), who is angry with him for missing a teacher-parent meeting at school. As Gang-du walks out to the riverbank with a delivery, he notices that a large crowd of people has gathered, taking pictures and talking about something hanging from the Han River Bridge. The otherwise idyllic landscape turns suddenly to bedlam when a terrifying creature climbs up onto the riverbank and begins to crush and eat people. Gang-du and his daughter run for their lives but suddenly the thing grabs Hyun-seo and disappears back into the river. The government announces that the thing apparently is the Host of an unidentified virus. Having feared the worst, Gang-du receives a phone call from his daughter who is frightened, but very much alive. Gang-du makes plans to infiltrate the forbidden zone near the Han River to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the horrifying Host…
