The Host is a South Korean film that was released 2006. The film is seen as a monster movie with a few comedic segments. The film is about a small family who all love their daughter Hyun-Seo, unfortunately an American pathologist tells his Korean assistant to dump over 200 bottles of chemicals (formaldehyde) down the sink. This in time reaches the River Han which mutates a fish into a large under water monster. It comes on to the land and starts attacking people and eating them. It takes Hyun-Seo alive and it’s up to the whole family to get her back, but not only does the monster terrorise people it also releases a deathly virus.
- The trailer opens up by showing an American doctor telling his assistant to dump toxic chemicals into the sink;
- the following scene shows the production logo for the film.
- we then see a father running towards his child but falls over in between, you sees text explaining to you who they are.
- The next scene shows the monster taking the girl the next thing we see are the police, armies and other authoritative people jump in and start to quarantine anyone who was touched or was near the animal.
- Everyone in the family starts to prepare themselves to fight the monster.
- The choice of music at the beginning where the family is introduced is lighthearted and portrays the family as harmless and comedic
- However when the monster is first introduced the music becomes more menacing, interspersed with screaming
- The mise-en-scene begins in a modern urban area near a river, later the setting changes to the sewers and here the lighting is much darker
