The Host (2006) 9/10

Starring : Kang-ho Song, Hie-bong Byeon, Hae-il Park, Doona Bae
Director : Bong Joon-ho
Running Time : 120 mins

When some spiled fermaldahyde is poured into the Korean sewer system, it creates a hideously mutated fish monster which sets about attempting to devour innocent passers by. One of it's victims is taken back to its lair, and when he family realise she is still alive, they bravely venture in search of the creature so they can rescue the girl and slay the beast.

This movie is simply brilliant as it manages to flip from tongue in cheek horror to serious dramatic thriller. The actors all know exactly where to by silly and when not to be, and the day time attacks of the creature make it all the more believable (I really hate when you don't see the monster in movies and then when they show it it's really disappointing). This is a must see for all fans of horror and delivers the scares and the laughs in perfect equal measures.
