The Host / Gwoemul / Korea / 2006

I realize this opinion is going to put me in the minority here (see Rumsey and Leo’s screening log entries and Jenny’s review), but this film fell a bit flat for me. The disturbing subplot about the government’s role in perpetuating the public’s fear diluted much of the campy humor I had expected going in, and while the beast himself is impressively rendered, I didn’t find him particularly fearsome. Give me Jaws any day over this.
