Review of The Host

The Host (2006)
6/10
Much ado about nothing
9 December 2006
I've seen this movie today cause I stumbled upon a website containing the most grossing movies in Korea this year. This one was number 1 on that list. So I became excited wanting to see a mutant beast causing chaos in a town in Korea. Positive points: 1.The special effects are shown in broad daylight, so nothing is hidden. The victims are not who you expect them to be. Negative points: 1. The special effects are sometimes dodgy/bad. 2. The dramatization is too much for its own good. 3. Sometimes scenes are dragged too long. 4. Dialogue is not very good. 5. Characters are mediocre.

Nothing new to see here. I hope Korean cinema doesn't carry on like this following cheap Hollywood mutant movies. Long live Oldboy!
