The Host
Rating: ★★★★☆
A 42-year-old Korean guy Kangdu works at his father’s convenience store located near Han River in Seoul. He has a 7th grade daughter. One day, his daughter gets upset because her uncle, Kangdu’s younger brother, turns up at a PTA meeting but he was completely drunk. She was also ashamed of her old cell phone. Kangdu promises his daughter to buy a brand new cell phone and the family begins to watch Kangdu’s younger sister’s archery game on TV. 
She is on the national competition. It is a beautiful Saturday afternoon and people are just sitting on the grass resting. As Kangdu is doing a few deliveries, there is a monster hanging on the Han River Bridge. People begin to take pictures of it. All of a sudden, the monster comes down from the bridge and kicks people and bite them. People are screaming and running away from it.
As Kangdu is running with her daughter, the monster snatches her from Kangdu and disappears in the river. Due to the sudden appearance of the monster, the whole city gets panicked and the river gets closed. However, Kangdu and his family have nobody to help them find his daughter.
Kangdu and his family fights against the monster and Kangdu’s younger sister shoots an arrow at the monster. Eventually, they find the monster’s house hidden in the sewage.
Kangdu’s daughter is alive and rescued by her family.
As I was watching this movie, I kept thinking that the monster symbolized something unpredicted that could happen to a family. It could be a disease, accident, or difficulty that a family might face. Whatever it is, the movie shows that a family can get through it when they work together.
