The monster from the Korean Horror Film, THE HOST is revealed, and boy is it effin' weird as a chipmunk typing!

Hey folks, Harry here with some really really cool footage that I found a link to over at KFCcinema.com for Joon-ho Bong's follow up film to his award winning brilliant film, MEMORIES OF MURDER. This one called, THE HOST... and it's a Korean Monster Movie with Digital Effects work by The Orphanage who worked on DAY AFTER TOMORROW, SKY CAPTAIN, HELLBOY and HERO. The word from Cannes is that while it wasn't in competition, it was better than almost all films in competition and is on par with work like, "JAWS" - I shit you not. Well, I am dying to see this film which has been picked up for U.S. distribution by MAGNOLIA PICTURES - and clicked on this link. You'll see some footage from the Korean trailers that have been incorporated into some interview segments with Joon-ho Bong. My fiancee tells me that he's basically just talking about how he didn't know how he was going to visualize the creature for THE HOST, as Korea doesn't have the type of Visual Effects house necessary to create this type of creature, so they just began storyboarding, then found THE ORPHANAGE, whom they did their pre-vis and final visual effects work with. See, sometime Yoko comes in handy. Heh. Here's the first images of creature online... Looks bizarre as fuck.
