The Host

I was so impressed with this Korean movie - so many little subplots going on in the background.  The family dynamic and background were very interesting, as was the background story of a nonexistent virus, which helped the fear grow in our minds.    After doing a little digging, I learned that the basis of this film - the poisoning of the river, was partially inspired by a similar incident which occured in South Korea back in 2000, by a Korean mortician working for the US who dumped large amounts of formaldehyde down the drain.  Scary!!!  The film reminded me of some older movies with similar story lines, ie., Godzilla or Alligator, but with more depth, compelling characters, and subplots  Nicely done!
