On almost every level, there's never quite been a monster movie like
this!" --Derek Elley, Variety

PARASITE
was not director Bong Joon Ho's first movie. He had been making top-rated,
award winning films in South Korea for years. In particular, his MEMORIES
OF MURDER and MOTHER
are today considered masterpieces. And this movie - THE HOST - has often
been called "the Best Monster Movie ever made." It was introduced
at Cannes 2006 and soon became the top grossing motion picture throughout
Asia. Director Bong deserves all the praise and hype it received.
The
host is a mutant monster that climbs out of the Han River and begins
devouring people, left and right. But, more specifically, the film deals
with a man who attempts to rescue his daughter after she's been kidnapped
by the monster. The results will leave you spellbound. Don't miss this
movie.
