The Host
Bong's barnstorming hit 'monster movie' starts from a real-life scandal (the dumping of formaldehyde in the Han River by the US Army) and imagines a huge amphibious carnivore supposedly spreading a lethal virus. One oddball family (Bong's favourite actors) breaches fascistic security to rescue its youngest member from the creature.
