The Host


The Host: This South Korean monster movie arrives on DVD amid overwhelming hype. With reviews such as “One of the greatest Monster movies ever made” and “On par with Jaws”, I was expecting a treat. Disappointed was I. For a so called “monster movie” – not scary at all. Maybe a slight jump one time, but even that was from spilling beer on myself. The story centers on a screwball family’s search for their youngest child. This little girl was taken by a mutated monster that came out of the Han River. The monster makes his full appearance about 6 minutes in – no suspense is built at all. The scary/monster aspect did not work for me to say the least. I did find some of the humor used to be enjoyable, but overall this is a movie I would not recommend.
