The Host (2006)


MUST WATCH A marvelous monster movie with heart, after an aquatic beast emerges from a river in Seoul a young girl is taken and her family will stop at nothing to get her back. This is a multi genre film with comedy, horror, and drama all having an equal share and the monster is bloody gorgeous. Developed by WETA, The Orphanage and John Cox and inspired by a deformed fish discovered in the real Han river the results are believable, glorious and unsettling. Starring Korean superstar Kang-ho Song as the hapless father the whole cast play well together acting like a real family. This is a modern day Godzilla, minus the height and history of bad remakes.


Like This Watch These: Thirst (2009)(Subs) Kang-ho astounds as a vampiric priest, Snowpiercer (2013) Director Joon-ho Boon's first English speaking film is wonderful, Godzilla (1954) (Subs) The Japanese original.
