'The Host' - Awesome looking Korean Horror Film!!

Supposedly a new twist on the old monster genre...where the monster is readily visible throughout the movie, in broad daylight attacking characters that have an interesting back story. Horror fans are saying it's the "New Jaws". Critical acclaim has been non-stop in the foreign press.
To me, it looks like an interesting cross between the Godzilla movies/Shawn of the Dead and the Royal Tenenbaums. Which seems like it would make for a good black comedy/horror film.
NOTE: Since it's release, it has gone on to become the highest grossing South Korean film of all time!
danny_galaga:
cool. its showing at the local cinemas now. i just thought it was an american sci fi horror along the lines of 'anaconda' or summink. might have to have a look...
Grasshopper:
Looks very promising.
Incidentally, if you're into Korean films then it's definitely worth checking out Old Boy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (especially Old Boy which has one of the best endings to a film ever).

In the Trailer I'm sure I saw people speaking English. Is the film in English?

Good question.
I was thinking about seeing it this weekend.
10 bucks to read subtiles is no good.
