Name that movie... - Blu-ray Forum

ArieS · 10-08-2008, 06:23 PM

A few weeks ago I rented a movie and while watching the previews one caught my attention but can't remember the title.
It's a Japanese movie and some scientists dump some toxic waste in the sewers and then some monsters come from there. A chick has a bow, etc...
Any ideas? The preview looked pretty good.

the movie is The Host... great film and great looking PQ... it is subtitled but that shouldn't discourage you.... I do think there is a dubbed track on the BD but I had it on the first time I watched and the translation didnt seem to be on...

I was reading this post to my Bro and he says he's pretty sure that the movie is called The Host.

I don't think it's Japanese though, I think it's Korean.

I believe they're going to play this movie on G4 on Halloween night.

Good film with HORRIBLE english actors in the beginning. What's sad is that the film ran out of money towards the end and the final cgi effects of the monster are not as good as those earlier on.

It is a Korean film. Lately there are quite a few good movies coming from South Korea. Wonder if I have family in any of them.

There are a TON of great films from Korea:
The Sympathy Trilogy
Attack the Gas Station
Shiri
I'm a Cyborg But That's OK
Chingu(My personal favorite)
Il Mare(Remade into The Lakehouse)
JSA

And when you get tired of those you can watch Korean Dramas!

cclarkson24 · 10-08-2008, 09:16 PM

There are alot of remakes Hollywood is using from Korea.

My Sassy Girl
Mirrors
Tale of Two Sisters = The Uninvited in America
Addicted
Seven Days
APT
The Doll Master

To name a few
