The Host [2006] Movie Reviews on CinemaClock

It’s ‘The Thing’ or ‘Alien’ Korean style! It’s a tough movie to evaluate. It’s funny at times and you do get to jump a few time. The giant squid is ugly and it’s not in a good mood. The acting: the father and son play very badly, why didn’t the director see thru this I don’t know. Then again, most Asians films I have seen, with few exceptions, are plagued by poor acting (nothing personal) The young teen in the story is surprisingly good, but her role is secondary. Special effects are excellent except for the fire thing. The story line is ok. All in all worth seeing. I give it a 7½.
