If you like monster movies......

Check out this clip! It goes 7 minutes but tell me it don't look exciting as hell! Made in south Korea I guess. Asian monster films are looking better these days.
I have not seen it yet because all the copies are out at my local Blockbuster.
Called "The Host". Has anyone here seen this?

Ive seen it,and I really liked it.But here are a few things you should know:
The story is not a conventional Monster movie plotline.It features a strangely disfunctional family,and some heavy political undertones in which the U.S. does not fare well,IMHO.But you have to give the filmakers credit for going in a new and very interesting direction with a familiar genre.

Very cool. I gotta get that one. I did notice there weren't any jet planes with bic lighters for power.

Thanks Jimmy, for the heads up. I'll keep an open mind then when I get a chance to see it. I love a good monster movie! I hope it is in stock this weekend.

Excellent movie, but 2duals is correct, nNot a standard monster movie plot. Bought it on DVD when it first came out based on reviews alone, something I rarely do, and it was worth it.

Oddly, I like Korean movies and love monster movies, but I really didn't care for this.

It looked good, probably really good in the original language.

He Heeeeee!

I got a copy of this dvd off the bay for $0.99 plus $5.00 shipping. OK, for $6.00 used, I didn't steal it, but I don't like to steal things that I don't know about anyway.

Sooo, looking forward to viewing the whole thing.
