"This film will explode. Mark my words. It has cult classic written all over it" Aint it Cool News


Crazily funny and wildly entertaining (Premiere Magazine), THE HOST is a terrific hybrid-genre fantasy and a seriously scary freakout(The New York Times).

Magnolia Home Entertainment unleashes this spectacular monster movie on DVD, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD July 24. Thrusting a normal, multi-generational family into the middle of an extraordinary event, THE HOST fuses poignant character drama with the larger-than-life conventions of a classic creature feature for a fresh, thrilling and startlingly emotional result

"on a par with JAWS (Aint It Cool News). Boasting state-of-the-art special effects from the digital wizards at Weta Workshop (King Kong, Lord Of The Rings) and The Orphanage (Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire, Sin City),

THE HOST maintains its humanity and darkly comic ingenuity by never losing sight of its offbeat core: the trials of an unremarkable family pitted against a larger-than-life mutant monster.

The talk of the 2006 Cannes International Film Festival and the latest film from critically acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho (Barking Dogs Never Bite, Memories Of Murder), the most original, exhilaratingly scary-funny monster movie in many a season
(LA Weekly) quickly became the highest grossing South Korean film of all time, earning an unprecedented $93 million at the Korean box office a truly remarkable figure, considering that the country is home to 45 million people.

Destined to become a cult classic (Instinct Magazine), THE HOST will be available as a standard DVD with deleted scenes and commentary by Director Bong Joon-Ho; a two-disc Collector Edition loaded with four hours of incredible special features; and a HD DVD and Blu-ray version, each with bonus materials.
