Description:

The Host (Single Disc) Rental Version

“ONE OF THE GREATEST MONSTER MOVIES EVER MADE.” – Logan Hill, New York Magazine “A TERRIFIC HYBRID-GENRE FANTASY AND A SERIOUSLY SCARY FREAKOUT. Tensely wound scenes as effective as any in ‘War of the Worlds’. The best film I’ve seen at this year’s Cannes Film Festival” – Manohla Darghis, New York Times “ON ALMOST EVERY LEVEL THERE”S NEVER BEEN A MONSTER MOVIE LIKE THE HOST. A bold gamble that looks headed to instant cult status.” – Derek Elley, Variety Gang-du (SONG Kang-ho) works at a food-stand on the banks of the Han River. Dozing on the job, he is awakened by his daughter, Hyun-seo ( KO A-sung), who is angry with him for missing a teacher-parent meeting at school. As Gang-du walks out to the riverbank with a delivery, he notices that a large crowd of people has gathered, taking pictures and talking about something hanging from the Han River Bridge. The otherwise idyllic landscape turns suddenly to bedlam when a terrifying creature climbs up onto the riverbank and begins to crush and eat people. Gang-du and his daughter run for their lives but suddenly the thing grabs Hyun-seo and disappears back into the river. The government announces that the thing apparently is the Host of an unidentified virus. Having feared the worst, Gang-du receives a phone call from his daughter who is frightened, but very much alive. Gang-du makes plans to infiltrate the forbidden zone near the Han River to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the horrifying Host… THE HOST UK TRAILER (Optimum Releasing)
