In Korea, there are few action thriller using graphic effect. Action thriller using graphic effect pointed like Godzilla and King kong of Hollywood. However, because most Korean movies are low-budget than Hollywood movie, Korean action thrillers need a lot of capital are poor and immature at CG effect for Hollywood movie. But, recently one very creative action thriller movie comes in Korea. The movie name is 'The Host'. This movie succeed to attract audiences by giving more reality than Hollywood movie. The plot is the following : The hero, Kang-do runs a small store near Han river. Oneday, unidentified host appears in Han river and take his daughter, Hyun-seo. But, nobody want to help him and his family who have no money and no power. So, they look for everywhere in Han river to rescue Hyun-seo only by themselves. Finally they find the host and kill it, but Hyun-seo already died.
If you see the just plot, it may be childish and looks like imitation of Godzilla or Jurassic Park. However, If you think the birth background of host, you will be attracted this movie. At first scene in the movie, one scientist illegally flow formalin into Han river and the movie give an that it makes a fish the host.
Through that inkling, this movie not only just give exciting spectacles like many Hollywood movie, but also makes audience think human's selfishness.
