Summary

When a mutated amphibious creature emerges from Seoul's Han River and snatches a young girl, her dysfunctional family - a slow-witted snack stand operator, his father, and his siblings - defy government quarantine to track the monster and rescue her. Bong Joon-ho's genre-blending film mixes creature horror with biting social satire and family drama.

Released in 2006, The Host is a drama, horror and science-fiction film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,846 2000s films, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 7,097 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 334 of its IMDb reviewers. A broader pool of 340 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
