20th Anniversary!

Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho’s third feature film, The Host, is a monster blockbuster starring Song Kang-ho as Park Gang-du, the head of a dysfunctional family. The film begins with a US military doctor (Scott Wilson) ordering his assistant to illegally dump toxic chemicals down a drain that leads to the Han River. Several years later, a mutated monster emerges from the river to wreak havoc on Seoul. When the monster abducts his daughter, Gang-du and his squabbling family band together to rescue her. Equal parts creature feature, comedy, and political satire, The Host is a monumental melting pot garnished with spectacular visual effects and a grandiose soundtrack. 

Directed by Bong Joon Ho
