Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Maybe this is actually a treatise on the dissonance between East and West, science and nature, promise and tragedy. Nah. It's just a dumb, crappy horror movie that wants to be celebrated as such.

fresh:
Rarely plays out the way you expect. Director Bong is careful to deliver the promised scares, but he is also willing to overlook plot formulas to explore his own interests.
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,

fresh:
Bravely shifting tones from the horrific to the slapstick and back again, Bong Joon-ho has made a movie that's comprised almost equally of family sitcom, political indictment, high-urban paranoia and maximum-geek, monster-movie delight.
– Geoff Pevere,
Toronto Star,
30 Mar 2007
fresh:
A horror thriller, a political satire, a dysfunctional family comedy, and a touching melodrama, Bong Joon-ho's The Host is also one helluva monster movie.
– Jim Emerson,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
As ebullient and bizarre as a monster that can do back flips, leaving the viewer in a shock of delight.
