...a masterclass in misdirection.

...is both a clever updating of the Japanese kaiju eiga (literally "monster movie") genre (...) and a witty and oftentimes endearingly sweet look at what's left of South Korea's post-Atomic Age nuclear family.

...en underholdende omgang fuld af fornøjeligt løjerlige indslag, dynamisk spænding og velskabt action.

Vil gerne være den sydkoreanske "Aliens - Det Endelige Opgør", men den er måske LIDT overvurderet. Men ok underholdning for monster-fans.

Väldigt udda men håller mig engagerad. Både rolig och läbbig på samma gång.

...tack vare ett underbart soundtrack, en härlig lekfullhet i varje scen och ett monster som skulle få King Kong att göra i byxorna är ”The Host” en underbar fest för alla sinnen, som missas på egen risk.
