South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, the nation’s champion of satire & absurdist humour, has delivered their biggest ever hit with The Host. Hailed by critics as an instant classic – a monster movie described as a “multilayed horror comedy drama”.
A US military idiot dumps expired toxic waste into the Han River – giving birth to a massive, virus infecting creature. One pleasant afternoon on the river bank, the creature surfaces and an orgy of death and destruction ensues. During the attack a young girl - Hyun-Seo - is swooped up by the monster. The girl’s highly dysfunctional family come together to try and retrieve Hyun-Seo when the authorities refuse to help.
