The Host

This Monday night, Movie Night In The Back Yard presents The Host (2006). Korean director Joon-ho Bong has created a unique film that defies classification. Part monster movie, part comedy, and part political satire, The Host tells the story of a family threatened by the monstrous results of US pollution in Seoul's Han River. Both the Jurassic Park-like effects and the story of this eclectic family are compelling, and the depiction of the Americans involved is hilarious. Don't miss this one-of-a-kind international sensation.
