The Host

The Host was a movie made in Korea, about a sea monster from the Han river. The movie was a comedy but also a horror movie, which was pretty cool. The family portrayed in the movie find themselves in a difficult situation, when Hyun-Seo is taken by the sea monster, and then the family goes on the journey of trying to find her and get her back to safety. In the beginning of the movie, we see an American scientist telling is Korean assistant to pour 200 bottles of Formaldehyde down a drain which essentially goes into the Han river. The assistant was reluctant to do the deed, but still does it. A few years later different people encounter the sea creature but nothing happens, but then nothing happens. We meet Gang-du, and his father, who own a nearby snack shop by the Han river. Gang-du is Hyun-Seo father, and she also lives with the two. Then one day the monster rises up out of the water and comes after the people. Then through the chaos, Gang0du tries to get his daughter, but falls, and after falling he loses her and picks up another girl, He realizes that he picked up a girl that wasn't his daughter, but he realizes too late and then the monster takes HYun-Seo. The family searches all over to try and find her but to no avail. Hyun-Seo actually was still alive, and would use the dead people's cell phones who were there with her in the monster's den. So she was able to contact her family, and the use that to locate her. They then search, and find her location, and in the end they don't save her, but save the other kid who was about to be eaten by the monster. They then join together and kill the monster.
Overall I'll say that I liked the movie, but it could have been better. Similarities between my life and the movie isn't many. However I would say that I like snacks and food, just like the characters in the movie. Differences include the language barrier, and the fact that I would never go chasing any monster no matter the circumstances.
