- #1October 2, 2017"I love this movie. I bought it with English sub-titles rather than dubbed over in English because I would rather read the words than to have the lips moving out of sync. This is about a father whose daughter gets kidnapped by a mutated fish monster. The father and his brother and sister, along with the grandfather are doing everything in their power to find the little girl while trying to stay out of the hands of a biological unit that believes they have a virus. The movie is funny and dim-witted, but it can make one anxious at times and sad at other times but mostly great to be alive. I've watched it maybe five or six times now. And each time, it's just as good to me as it was the first time."

I also love the actress Ko Asung, she has been acting since a little girl. Apparently, the Han River is polluted and the CGI beast is ready to roam on land. I hope that you will take the time to watch it-I hate spoilers and refuse to leave any here."

That said, I did not enjoy The Host at all. It was too focused on the action and not enough on the characterization of the people in the movie, which I'm always very interested in."

It is full of great action, drama, and mood. It keeps my full attention focused on the movie for its entire running time. I would strongly suggest watching this movie to everyone at all interested!"

So intense! If you liked Song Kang Ho in Parasite there's no doubt in my mind that you will like him here too."

He is my favorite director and I find it cool that his movies in the past paved the way for Parasite to get an unforgettable and solid win at the Oscars."

The fact that it is an Asian film with monsters in it was somewhat funny but on the other hand, some of the monsters were truly frightening!"
