Dominik Muench Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hi im going to watch a (japanese?) horror movie tonight at the cinemas here in singapore, which is called "the host"...i think the original title is "guemuru" (http://www.guemuru.com/). the trailer looks pretty promising and i was wondering if the movie is getting...or allready got a release at some western cinemas as well ? anyone seen it by any chance ?

Jesus Sifuentes Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 the film is actually korean. i did a yahoo theatre search with no luck, if anything it will just go straight to video. to tell you the truth I was not impressed by the trailer, not a single frame made me want to view it. Which is a shame since Korea has been producing some amazing films in the last 10 years. By the way I did get a chance to view your showreel, now that had cinematic vision.

Dominik Muench Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 oh korean, ok. yeah i heard a lot of great things about korean productions. maybe i write a little review tomorrow after ive seen the movie, ive seen the trailer yesterday before i watched "Snakes on a plane" so maybe that made me appreciate the korean movie more haha. glad you like my reel :) wish the dozens of production companys ive been visiting in the last few weeks would think the same *g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted September 14, 2006 Premium Member Share Posted September 14, 2006 The film is by Bong Joon Ho, the director of the amazing "Memories of Murder", the best Korean film I have ever seen. 'The Host' was shown in Cannes, but I missed the screening. It just got shown on a festival in the UK and it seems there will be a theatrical release later this year. I can't wait to see this one.

Dominik Muench Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 just came back from the cinema, yeah it is...interesting...not your typical horror movie. but with some very subtle story elements in it :) the cinematography ranged from bahh to wow, some shots were really really nice, others werent all that hot. The VFX were generally pretty good, done by a company form san francisco ("the orphanage" or something). if the movie gets a screening at a theatre near you and youre interested in asian cinema, go and see it. everyone else might be disappointed.
