Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 10/10 by J.R. JonesThe mix of dark humor, creeping suspense, and a sort of apocalyptic tenderness makes this the best horror flick in years.
Film Threat - 10/10 by Felix Vasquez, Jr.Joon-Ho's epic is a masterpiece of monster cinema that's intelligent, innovative, and reaches down to the basic core of family unity to propel its story beyond mere conventions of science fiction.
Portland Oregonian - 10/10 by M. E. RussellThe Host isn't just a terrific monster movie. This South Korean box-office smash is also a laugh-out-loud comedy and a surprisingly angry political satire.
The New Yorker - 10/10 by Anthony LaneI have seen The Host twice and have every intention of watching it again.
The Film Yap - 10/10 by Nick RogersA livid bureaucratic satire, berserk creature feature and surprisingly somber drama, "The Host" is a convulsive, wild ride - simultaneously eliciting squirms and giggles by mashing up finger-pointing anger with "The Thing's" wiseass wickedness.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 10/10 by Louis ProyectA throwback to the uncensored "Godzilla," a anti-American broadside with a scary monster and off-kilter humor. What more can you ask for in a movie?
About.com - 10/10 by Jurgen FauthWith unflappable confidence, Bong Joon-ho grafts droll humor and sly political commentary onto the DNA of a classic Hollywood creature feature.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Peter HartlaubA great piece of filmmaking and a legitimate science-fiction/horror classic.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob ThomasIt packs an emotional kick that we don't expect from a movie where a giant iguana is running around with human legs dangling out of his mouth like stray pieces of linguini.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip MartinA self-aware throwback to the giant ants and nuclear-spawned mutant movies of the 1950s...
