Dysfunctional family has to save their daughter from a giant monster in Seoul
The Host is an amazing monster movie from South Korea that is as much about family as it is about battling a giant beast. It was directed by Bong Joon-ho that would later receive international acclaim for his movie Parasite.<br /><br />The story focuses upon a hapless and dysfunctional family. The father Hie-bong is hard working. The daughter Nam-Joo is an Olympic level archer that can’t win the big ones. One son Nam-il is an unemployed student activist, while the other Kang-ho is a total screw up whose only redeeming factor is his young daughter Hyun-seo. What brings this dysfunctional family together is when a monster attacks Seoul and takes the Hyun-seo for a latter meal. That brings the father, daughter and two sons all together to find the missing child. That happens when Kong-ho grabs the wrong child as everyone is attempting to flee the beast.<br /><br />That highlights another big element in the movie, comedy. Just because it was a monster movie didn’t mean it couldn’t play for laughs. Kang-ho for instance is told to heat up some dried squid for some customers and eats one of the legs while doing so. The family is held in quarantine at a hospital and makes a bungling escape where they forget the sister Nam-Joo.<br /><br />There’s plenty of action as well like during the initial monster attack upon Seoul. People are trampled, some are eaten, it’s total chaos.<br /><br />Overall, The Host provides action, comedy and a family tale as well.<br />C
