The Host

It was made on a budget of only $4m and the quality of the CGI effects really highlight why the likes of the Simpsons and Family Guy get their animation done in Korea.
 
And they were brave to show the effects in full daylight as well, not just cheating and seeing it only in darker scenes.

Recommend seeing The Host if you haven't, it's excellent. See it before the American remake, and a Korean sequel will be out soon.
 
"The Host" was ok. The comedic moments (which were dire) seemed out of place. Decent film but forgettable.




The CGI for "The Host" was done by "Orphanage", an American company located in California. They also did the FX for a number of big budget movies as well.
 
Unfortunately that seems to be a thing in a lot of Asian films. They go, in our eyes, overboard with the melodramatics and comedic moments. That was the only small negative for me with The Host.
 
Massively overrated!

If it had been an American film it would have got ripped on for being quite shit I recon, as it's Korean with subtitles people talk it up way beyond its worth.
 
Obviously it doesn't apply to everybody :p

I was a bit harsh with the shit comment, I actually enjoyed the host, still think it gets over rated by many though.
 
Bollocks, bollocks and thrice bollocks. How the bloody hell have I missed it again?

I have only seen youtube clips, but the monster attack is superbly done.

Please show it again C4, please.
