Korean Movie ‘The Host’ is One of the Top Ten Horror Movies in the World


Halloween is just around the corner, and Korean filmmakers sure know how to scare the pants off of you.

US movie news site ScreenCrave recognized Korean’s scare abilities by picking movie The Host as number 5 in the Ten Great Films for a Horror Movie Marathon category. The new site deemed it, ‘allegorical, commenting on environmental concerns and the influence of the United States overseas’ and ‘even better than “Cloverfield”.

The Host holds the record for the best box office hit of all time in Korea, telling the story of a mutated monster haunting the depths of the Han River and eventually emerging to attack.

Besides The Host, other movies on the top ten include The Exorcist, Shining, Halloween, Jacob’s Ladder, Let the Right One In, The Fly and Night of the Living Dead.

Include this gruesome monster movie in your Halloween movie fright night. Advanced Halloween to all from Kpoplive!
