The Host

Has anyone seen this flick? I thought it was pretty cool. The monster was great, the acting and the "tone" was good, although I thought that some parts were a little ridiculous...I can't stand it in movies when nobody listend to reason...

Fantastic film!

Not only did they show the monster in the first 10 minutes in all it's glory (in a truly fantastic attack sequence) but they keep you glued to the screen for something even more gripping, a story about a family struggling together to save one of their own.

Scary in parts, hilarious in parts, moving throughout and truly wonderous cinema, in my opinion. Proof that Korea is really hot for talent

I really wanna see it. It was released only in selected theatres down here.

It's limited release everywhere. I was hoping to go friday the 9th, as that's when the only showings in NY were, but I couldn't make it

Its SOOOOOO much fun.

Lotsa Giant Monster action in the daylight !

Bio you need to find it, If you have a region free DVD player, I think its on DVD already

I'm sure Magnolia pictures will be releasing an R1 dvd soon (heck, they didn't pay to dub it, and for the rights for an american remake, just to show it a few times in limited theatrical release).

It's out on DVD release in the UK now, so you could probably order it from a UK site. Will buy it soon, as soon as I can bear to depart with some money.
