Review of The Host (2006) by Andrei P — 31 Aug 2011
The Host is a flawed, but very entertaining monster film from Korea. While there are moments of unintentional hilarity, the film is still intense, funny when it wants to be, and has great acting to go along with everything else.
However, you should be someone who doesn't mind watching a film with subtitles, because if you watch this film dubbed it's fucking terrible (I despise bad dubbing). Just watch it in it's original language and you'll be fine.
You should also be someone who doesn't mind a monster film that's more about story and satire, rather than lots of action because if you're expected something action-packed, you'll be sorely disappointed.
I'm not sure about the upcoming remake though, because it seems pretty ridiculous that the U.S. feels the need to keep remaking Asian films.
