Review of The Host (2006) by The Critic ( — 21 Aug 2013
This competently made and generally entertaining monster movie from South Korea, with clear political and environmental subtests, features wonderful special effects and mixes humour and scares quite well.
Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) isn't, however, a very likable hero and the film suffers from some sluggish pacing that ruins the overall momentum of the piece.
