THE HOST


The Host a 2006 South Korean thriller/monster film directed by Joon-ho Bong, and starring Kang-ho Song, Hie-bong Byeon, Hae-il Park, Du-na Bae, and Ah-sung Ko.

Right after an American scientist decided to pour some highly unstable chemicals in the laboratory sink, some animals from the Han river started to mutate. A few years later, as some locals where fishing in the river, they spotted something swimming in the river that seemed a little too different from what they where used to. Then one day, Gang-du, a seemingly slow-minded man, is delivering a meal to some patrons, and sees some people gathering along the river. As he joins them, they stand near the side of the river and point at something under a bridge. It is one of the mutated creatures, now fully grown. It drops into the water, and moves towards shore. While running from the creature, Gang-du comes across his daughter and grab her by the hand; but after a strike from the monster the girl is snatched away from Gang-du, ending up being taken away by the creature. Now, Gang-du, with the help of his family, has to fight against the government and the creature itself to try and save his daughter.
