THE HOST
119 minutes | 2006 | South Korea
Director: Bong Joon Ho
An American military scientist orders his Korean assistant to dump hundreds of bottles of formaldehyde down a drain leading into the Han River. Over the next several years, there are sightings of a strange amphibious creature in the waterway, and the fish in the river die off. A huge monster emerges from the river and terrorizes Seoul. Will the American military clean up its own mess? Of course not; it’s up to ordinary people to unite and stop the creature.
