20 Most Rewatchable Sci-Fi Movies Of The 21st Century
11. The Host
Now,
plenty of viewers will have revisited this one in recent history, since it may
be the most accessible pre-Snowpiercer effort from recent Oscar winner/ all-round
auteur Bong Joon Ho. But there’s always cause to check in on this 2006 monster
movie, as its gory story of a family shattered by the attack of a gigantic mutated
creature in Seoul is a beautifully realized tale of bravery and compassion, as
well as a scathing satire of America’s continuing outsized presence throughout
the nation.
Violent, perfectly paced, and filled with the trademark dark humour which makes the helmer’s work so amenable despite its heavy themes, this one should be one regular rotation for horror film fans, mutant movie lovers, and sci-fi satire aficionados alike.
