I have seen The Host twice and have every intention of watching it again. Read full review
Bong Joon-ho's wildly entertaining saga should become the hip, thinking-person's monster movie of choice. Read full review
With a subversive streak as wide as the Han and a title open to interpretation, The Host confounds our expectations while providing top-notch entertainment. For Bong, the monster movie is an ample vessel, one that he can fill with social criticism while discovering exuberant amusement in the process. Read full review
The Host is a cautionary environmental tale about the domination of nature and the costs of human folly, and it may send chills up your spine. But only one will tickle your fancy and make you cry encore, not just uncle. Read full review
