  • I really liked this film. However, in my opinion, this film needs to be viewed with the Korean audio and English subtitles.

  • how can you compare this to jaws? they aren't even the same types of movies. i hate when "critics" make asinine statements like that. for one, jaws isn't a monster movie. it's about a large fish; not a mutated fish, not a fish that was bread with an alien, not a fish that was created by science. a fish. secondly, it's unfair to the host because comparing it to a movie that has no relation to it, or any movie for that matter, takes away from its originality.

  • The movie had some gripping action sequences. Especially when the monster first comes out of the river.

  • This movie is like it was taken right out of a anime.

  • LOL This movie is more funny then scary!!!! XD Watched it last night and I was cracking up. The end was sad though :/

  • Comment removed

  • Whoa, whoa whoa whoa...whoa, they made an english version? AWSOME!!!!!

  • i love how it supposed to be a scary movie but the beginning music sounds like something you would play when you see a drunk swaggering down the street

  • as u guys can see if you have seen the video all the clips when people are talking in the trauker its when they had a few american actors? isent it quite funny?

  • For the most part, this movie is about the characters and their flaws that often get them into situations (often hilarious ones) you wouldn't expect, in such a movie, as if the monster was completely irrelevant to the plot. Yet, the last few minutes of the movie are some of the most memorable and thrilling, true monster hunting deal. If you are looking for an awesome monster movie, with healthy dose of humor, thrill and an outlandish feel, this one is for you.

  • wtf is up with asians and their reptiles??

  • @cryss1996 whats up with americans and zombies? oh and making vampires look like little bitches?

  • this bad quality to anyone else?

  • "In November 2008, it was announced that Universal Studios would be remaking The Host with Gore Verbinski producing, Mark Poirier writing the script, and first-time director Fredrik Bond directing the film. The film is set for a 2011 release"....

  • NEWEST TRAILER The American - Teaser Trailer #2 AT MY CHANNEL

  • Don't you hate it when they play that dramatic music when the monster arrives

    Good thing in asian films they don't because it gives away the monster has arrived

    Or when its suddenly quiet

  • What i love about Koran movies is that even if it's a really dramatic or terrifying movie there's always some hilarious parts.

  • what is the yellow thing on 1:52

    its spreading gas

  • whats this music piece called at 1:05? and where can i find it?

  • its funny, its scarring and a bit creepy, the creature looks typical asian but the special effects and the actors did a great job. you have to see this film. its an unbelieable mix,

  • This is my favorite movie ever. Please, you need to watch it for your own good. You might think: wow, korean moster flick: sounds stupid, but the movie is a true masterpiece.

  • the music at 0.23 is just the cutest. anybody know where i can download it?

  • AWESOME MOVIE.

    LOVED IT SO EFFIN MUCH :D

    Ending = epic.

  • i love korean cinema!!!!

  • Wow this movie is much better then Jaws tbh :D

  • It's Korean, not Japanese.

  • Too bad we don't know if that doctor in the beginning got any sort of punishment but considering the assistant had to be the one to pour all that stuff down the drain I'm pretty sure he made it clear who gave him the order to do it.

    Awesome movie, and no the dubbed version does not ruin it, I have watched it in subbed and dubbed and enjoyed both equally well :p

  • I just ask for one small thing in life...Please!OH PLEASE!...Hollywood get your hands of adaptation rights...I will kick your ass if you do!

    There I have said it...=P

  • wait formaldehyde made the monster wtf

  • are you asking what made the monster?

    it was the doctors, there medicine and chemicals were to old to and dangerous to use, so they poured them down the drain, and some of the drains in Korea go into the rivers, and that monster was like a chemically altered thing, its really good movie though

  • yer i love monster movies their awesome this looks good

  • you mean you havent seen it yet???? omigosh!!!! get to steppin!!!!!! you are soooo missing out lol, theres this one really good part where they do this surgery on the guy with blond hair and he cant be put to sleep for it D: and it was AWESOME, but also kinda sad cause he had to feel them pushing the needle through his skull. O.o lol just forget i told you that lol

  • lol dem crafty koreans

  • yeah lol, but if you do rent it or something, make sure you get the Korean version cause they dubbed it, but it ruins the movie so yeah, and you can just put subtitles on it. Its worth it

  • will do. watch the trailer for the new wolf man movie looks pretty good probs not as good as american werewolf in london though

  • I didn't find it scary at all, but it was really good. The monster was great, and it had a lot of really great moments

  • I loved it too! Great movie.

  • the monster is unpredictable

  • This is fucking SCARY

  • This movie awesome SICK!!! (in a good way) :P

  • Ahhhh, I consider this a classic even though it's only been out several years.

  • Did we ever find out about the guy who poured the stuff in the beginning like if he was a psycho or sumeting?

  • I just watched it, rented it. Thoughts-One of my favorite movies of all time! Those of you that like suspense, drama and/or Japanese kaiju films will love it I definetly recommend seeing it. Can't wait for the sequal to come out this year I read

  • Yeah, I've seen it and it was AWESOME!!

    Kind of sad near the end as well :'(

  • the sequel? there is no sequel. only the shitty american remake.

  • they are making a sequel of this in korea the host 2

  • scary movie i´m traking it now!

  • Incredible movie, saw it on TV a few weeks ago really want to get it on DVD.

  • good movie but when the monster first came it scared the crap out of me XD

  • To anyone who is planning on seeing this, do not watch the dubbed version. this movie has quite possibly the worst dubbing i've ever heard in my life. The Korean version was incredible. I recommend this movie in its true form to anyone who likes movies. I really hope the new director doesn't screw up the sequal though.

  • When people watch this movie, they won't say "I just watched a movie with pathetic subtitles." they say "wasn't that amazing?"

  • thay are remaking this thay are going to SCREW THIS UP

  • I want the soundtrack more than I want the

    movie!

  • I seen parts of this movie on TV, and never got to finish it. I bought it on DVD and watched it. I liked the Movie a lot. However Im not sure I got the full meaning out of this movie. In the end, I find myself a little confused about what happened. I think I need to watch it again with subtitles instead of the crappy English dialogue.

  • a little girl from south korea ( so yeon ) > her parents gave me that movie as a birthday gift... she was here in newfoundland for a year going to school learning english... we watched it together... I had to read the sub titles and she was just sitting back and taking it all in and enjoying it !! cool movie , with some funny parts as well .

  • Good movie!

  • The Bloody creature is form by the bloody doctor which maybe the creator of the scenes that helps the monster get its creation by drinking the toxic and form into a creature that kills everbody nearby the area........

  • I dont get itttttt

    does the girl die at the end? Cuz the way it seemed to me the only kid that survived was the lil boy. . . you know- that last scene at the end is decieving.

  • Yeah her daughter(the girl in the school uniform) died, but that other boy didn't. :(

  • name of the first song please

  • I realize too that most peoeple on the internet are children, but doesn't ANYBODY these days know how to write a complete sentence without fracturing it. Education: gone. Sports, sex and rock and roll, that's what they know.

  • You're right.

  • Why does the producer put himself down. The movie is not "on a par with Jaws," it is 10 times better. The Jaws movie is absolutely primitive in comparison.

  • i wathed this movie n im korean i didnt understand it but it was cool

  • even though the movie was in subtitles, it was still hella good

  • I Googled, and there was a trailer for the host 2.

    Cause "The host" was such a successful movie, there planing to release it in spring of 2009.

  • About time someone copied the dynamic mix of horror and comedy and character developement not found since Jaws. Great Film idea

  • SPOILER

    I didnt like how the brothers died

    SPOILER

  • Fuck off dumbass. Why are you trying to ruin shit for everyone?

  • no fuckU! bitch

  • i don't get why people like this movie. it was so mediocre to me.

  • your mom was so mediocre to me

  • I love this movie- and the trailer makes it looks so awesome!

    And I love how it gets so tense and then suddenly the anti-defecting guy just slips and falls it shows that scary movies like this can have a satirical twist too ^_^

  • hey you wanna know why the monster chose that girl,its becouse he needs to put his/her eggs into the girl

  • scary and funy!!

  • for all those people wondering what the music is contact me, ill give you a link

  • adolfsandval is not difficult although I am of chile ay the film is that these things thrown at the water and after which he was shot and killed him a virus enters and takes her daughter and who are watching pulling arrows is the TIA

  • Sorry for the triple post but can you also tell me where to get this music?

  • Basically, can anyone tell me what the names of the music are for the whole trailer?

  • Does anyone know the music where is starts from "Three Generations"? The music sounds awesome, and the movie IS AWESOME!

  • message me and ill show you the OST for The Host,

  • i will see it-.-exist this movie in germany??

  • It's very like to Cloverfield (with it's differences), I have not seen this yet, but seems like a good movie

  • sandval watch it, it's 10x better than Cloverfield

  • Ok, but it's difficult to find it here in Mexico, I think only in special video stores

  • have you considered buying it? amazon . com has a 2 disc collectors edition for only 13.99$ and thats a good deal for such a good movie! ;)

  • Oh, so that's it, I know where to get it, thanks

  • yup no problem, hope you enjoy the movie ;)

  • Thanks

  • have to admit

    it was the best movie i saw last year

    i saw it at my friends house

    some scenes were to give laughs

    but most of them were edge-of-ur-seat moments

  • I have never seen this before.

  • Holy Shit :O This Movie Is Awesome x3

  • One of the BEST movies seen in a seriously long time

  • This is the BEST Trailer out of all the international and Korean ones. Kudos to whoever contributed to this trailer. It actually conveyed the comedic and horrific essence of The Host.

  • I just finished watching it. There are the corny moments and the plot is a little basic but over all I enjoyed it and I do recommend it^^

  • The corny moments were often intentional, and the all the best monster movies have a fairly basic plot to them.

    This is a great flick :)

  • not that scary, but its a really cool movie...

    kindof funny to...:P

  • i thought this movie was good. people may not think its good, but thats there opinion.

    "best movie" indeed, the story was really awesome! its hard to understand from the trailer, but when you watch it makes sense.

    it all started from a guy pouring some stuff into the sewers (which happened in real life)

  • oh and the dubbed version sucks.. voice actors put no emotion into things anymore.

  • juggernaut u dumb ass clover field is about aliens not a mutated fish

  • Pretty Good Movie..Recommend it.

  • just watched it, very entertaining worth putting in your monster movie collection if you guys have one.

  • i just saw this movie and it was a great experience. The monster itself has a look that seems real, the moviemakers did a gd job with this one.

    Small version of Cloverfield maybe, but still not ^^

  • Cloverfield was released later ...

  • i know but they still look a bit alike :)

  • its korean u dorks..

    >>

    ㅋㅋ 바보

  • I loved this movie and the sound tracks! I love both director and composer of songs!! :)

  • So true THE HOST is the greatest movie...EVER

  • whats the movie rated G Pg Pg13 14+ or R+

  • It's rated R but why does it matter? It's still a great movie and it's my favorite!

  • The movie THE HOST is a cool movie Better is wayyy better that Cloverfield its funny to which is crazy

  • is this a comedy

  • Great movie!

    I just don't understand why there is just the little boy in the end. Is the girl dead??

  • the girl died, propably drowned after the time in the mouth of the monster (after all it swimmed under water a long bit)

  • where did you get that wrong info?

  • cloverfield is a remake of the Host except the host is the greatest movie and cloverfield sucked fuckin balls!

  • Excellent movie. One of the best from last year...

  • dude in one seen you see the monster chugging up all these bones dude ther must of been at least 60 people there

  • Yes

  • korean people tripping.

  • it isn't chinese people it is korean people and yea they are running from a bif mutated frog! i guess it is like a korean version of godzilla but wayyyy better.

  • No she hides from him

    and later in the movie this little child shows up and he gets stuck there then the monster eats them but the kid survives but the youngest dauther doesn't

  • I thought that the daughter survives, but the boy doesn't?.But I haven't seen the movie yet

  • the daughters father adopts the boy at the end =]

  • ohhhh, okay, thanks, but i just saw the movie.

  • This movie is brill, its funny, its scary and i got abit teary near the end. either that was me or just the movie =P

  • What's it even about? o.O

  • a monster is born when chmicals are on perpusly spilt into the han river. monster rampages and during a familys retreat for safety the daughter is lost so the family go looking for her. it aint your average monster movie where everyone dies except 1. i get teary when the fathers daughter gives the grandfather the empty gun and the monster flips him into the air and deliberitly cracks his head on a slab. Great film should watch it somtime =]

  • Already did, great movie. :)

    Thanks For Spoiling It!!!!!! That was one of the best parts, now everyone knows it's gonna happen already.

  • the funeral part is hilarious!!!!

  • seen it

  • lol i need to watch this movie

  • you should it's fucking awesome.........and weird

  • wait? your pretty much saying this movie is better than dora the explorer? ooook...

    love this movie btwz!

  • Everyone thinking this movie is stupid has probably watched the one with the retarded subtitles. There is never a way to completely translate a language into another without fcking up the dialouges. So stop bitching.

  • i keep watching so many times and i love this movie!!!!!!!!!

  • well thanx, i don't think your hypothesis is all that right though, whatever, have a good day.

  • Your ability to describe my life story from a single comment amazes me, say hi to your mother for me, she gives great head, if i used a condom you would not be here.

  • There was actually a lot of clever humour and sequences used in the film, some great cinematography as well, some parts kind of droned on, and the end bit got somewhat boring, but it still made for an entertaining movie

    I think people don't realize how much comedy based the movie is, if you're trying to compare it as a thriller to Jaws it wouldn't be in the same class, but as a new entertaining movie it's fun to watch, and there's a lot of clever devices

  • i agree, and found myself laughing when it would seem to be serious or kinda "is that normal in Korea" thinking. This movie was entertaining, scary...eh...

  • you can't compare d-war crap to this

  • Sorry to say, but I'm pretty fair about movies. This movie was just unbelievable. If there was truly a man-eating monster in the Han River, then why do they care more about a virus? That doesn't make any sense. The monster was created by formaldehyde being poured into the river. So none of it make any sense. If the monster was created by a virus, then the story would be more cohesive. This is just a junk story, with good acting.
