Back of the box:
Seoul's River Han is the watery birthplace of a giant mutant creature bent on
the city's total destruction. Hie-bong is a humble snack bar owner whose
precious granddaughter Hyun-seo is scooped up by the scaly lizard,
presumably as an appetizer before the beast devours all of Seoul. Can the
mild-mannered concession peddler, his dim son and slacker grandson band
together and save both child and city?

The Bloody Truth:
Another great film from South Korea, Host provides an entirely entertaining
and action packed spectacle.
With some of the most stunning shots put to film Host provides a number of
things to enjoy. Social commentary, heartwarming story of friendship and
family, hilarious and intense action, one huge slimy and deadly mutant
beast. Check, check, check and check.
Host takes a somewhat lighthearted look at the horrors of waste dumping
and the military complex and if you don’t mind laughing during your horror
movies then this is a must see.
If your not familiar with Korean film it may seem a bit over the top from time
to time but this is part of the charm. Prepare to be entertained
