The Host Reviews

Best monster movie ever.

[Rewatch]: Perfect double bill COVID quarantine flashback viewing with Contagion. I didn’t remember Walking Dead’s Herschel was in this.

I like it, but idk just wasn’t the best to me

6/10

Ig bro

Not bad

6.7/10

8.3/10

Obra-prima do horror sul-coreano: monstro mutante aterroriza família em Seul. Bong mistura tensão, humor negro, crítica social afiada e emoção familiar genuína. Song Kang-ho brilhante, cenas de ação caóticas e final impactante.

There is so much underlying meaning and that’s what puts this film at the top. The monster is a direct metaphor of America and its dangerous influence on the Korean people. The only thing that didn’t work for me was the comedic aspect, but that’s understandable.

7.5

Bong Joon Ho makes another great movie and Kang-ho Song is amazing here. Had a great time with the story and writing. Although the cgi was atrocious I still felt like the monster was so unique that it didn’t bother me too much.

Woah. That monster looked wayyyy too real for 2006. Like can we tone that down a bit. Gonna give me nightmares and night scares smh. Not flushing down chemicals anytime soon ㅋㅋ

They were so dumb

Not my favorite from Bong Joon-Ho, but it's got some heartwarming moments as well as heartbreak moments. The creature itself looked horrible, and the runtime was a bit long, but other than that, you got everything you need in a monster movie.

riso e choro intercalados magistralmente

Such an unsuspectingly good film. A re-release with updated CGI would just be *chef’s kiss*

Unrealistische Darstellung, schlechte Schauspieler

6/10 not my typa movie but still a good movie; hyun seo got done dirty

7/10

solid creature features with a few extra layers in there. definitely recommend.
