Just saw The Host (2006) by Bong Joon-ho and wow! This South Korean monster movie is a genre-bending masterpiece. Don’t be fooled by the giant, slimy creature – this film is a dark comedy with heart. Song Kang-ho delivers a hilarious performance as a loving but hapless father whose young daughter is kidnapped by the monster.

The film is a social commentary on class inequality, environmental pollution, and the lengths a family will go to protect each other. If you’re looking for a monster movie with bite (and laughs!), The Host is a must-watch!
