Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This page is for the 2006 movie. Tropes about the 2013 movie adaptation of the Stephenie Meyer book of the same name should be placed on the book's trope page.The Host (or Gwoemul, as it's known in its home country) is a critically acclaimed 2006 film by Bong Joon-ho, combining aspects of the kaiju movie, the political satire, and the family dramedy. It absolutely swept the Blue Dragon Awards and the 1st Asian Film Awards, and is also the third highest grossing South Korean film of all time, selling around 13 million tickets.After an American military pathologist stationed in Korea orders his associate to dump over a hundred bottles of formaldehyde down the drain, sightings of a strange amphibious creature in the Han River emerge years later, with fish in the river mysteriously dying off.It's now the year 2006; a man by the name of Park Gang-du owns a local snack kiosk with his father, Hee-bong, with the rest of their family living together. While working, the previously-thought-to-be-myth creature suddenly makes landfall and starts attacking locals, attempting to feed on anything that gets in its path before disappearing back into the river's depths, but not before eating some of its victims and taking Gang-du's daughter, Hyun-seo, with it. Afterwards, the government and the United States military quickly arrive and announce that the creature has been subjected to an unknown virus, and soon quarantines the population that made contact with the creature, including Gang-du and his family whom tried to fend off the creature during its rampage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Host / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: Gang-du experiencing his daughter kidnapped by the monster. During the monster's first attack, a mother realizes her son may be one of the people trapped in a trailer the monster is in. She then urges Gang-du and the American soldier to help save him and the other people trapped inside. Hee-bong flips out spectacularly when Gang-du, his firstborn son, jumps into the river to go after the monster, and later tries to protect Gang-du when he is pulled away from him by men in decontamination suits and zipped up in a bag.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
