Saturday Movie

Saturday Movie

Isaac and myself love movies. Now every Saturday we will quickly talk about a movie we recently watched. Hope you enjoy and share in your views with us.

The Host

An American military personnel dump chemicals into South Korea's Han River. Several years later, a creature emerges from the tainted waters and sinks its ravenous jaws into local residents. When the creature abducts their daughter, a vendor (Song Kang-ho - one of the best actor at the time) and his family decide that they are the only ones who can save her.

One of the last great films from the amazing early 2000s South Korean cinema wave. Stylish and funny, Bong Joon-ho is in top form with this one, which is more or less an homage to the giant monster B-films of the 1950s.

Director: Bong Joon-ho
Running time: 121 minutes
Released: 2006
