Review of The Host (2006) by Luke C — 25 Mar 2012

As long as you don't watch this film's english dub and stick with the original Korean audio, The Host should be a film you'll truly enjoy. Part giant monster movie and part family drama, The Host is quite a wild ride. While being a little melodramatic for my liking, once you get past the silliness and over the top nature of things, it is very enjoyable.

There is plenty of wasted elements in this film that are introduced solely to fit into one tiny little part of the puzzle and as such, a good portion of the film feels hollow and pointless.

Luckily the monster is awesome, there is some good gore and action and the production values are very decent.

Worth checking out... just not in English.
