For someone as devoted to kaiju cinema as me it's a little weird that I never cottoned much to Bong Joon-ho's beloved 2006 monster movie The Host -- to be honest I haven't seen it since it came out and my memory is fuzzy as to what exactly bothered me about it, so perhaps I should do a re-watch now that it's getting a 20th anniversary (sigh) 4K remaster and re-release. (Hopefully they upgraded the monster CG because I do recall that was pretty shitty back in 2006.) But if nothing else that new poster seen above was worth the effort -- that's an absolutely gorgeous poster. The re-release is happening November 21st & 23rd (two separate days, kinda weird) and below is the trailer. Any fans of this movie? I assume so since even in 2006 I was on a bit of a lonely island, not loving it, and the Bong Cult has only multiplied exponentially since then. (I remain firmly ensconced in Team Park Chan-wook when it comes to South Korean Genre Directors.)
