IndieWire calls it "The Defining Monster Movie Of The 21st Century" and says, "A lack of subtlety isn’t just one of the film’s charms, it’s also the core of the film’s purpose. This is a story about the sheer brazenness of evil." Deep Focus Review begins its positive review by saying, "A unique mix of blockbuster entertainment and anti-government social commentary, the South Korean film The Host will forever raise your expectations for monster movies."

Slant Magazine gives it 3.5 out of 4 stars and says, "Bong Joon-ho’s The Host delivers high-octane thrills while cannily exploiting contemporary political fears, with some inspired visual humor amplifying its overriding mood of popcorn-movie excitement." HorrorNews.net has a lengthy article with screen shots.

Roger Ebert's site opens a positive review with this: "A horror thriller, a political satire, a dysfunctional family comedy, and a touching melodrama, Bong Joon-ho's "The Host" is also one helluva monster movie." Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus rating of 93%.
