7 Horror Movie Creatures That Fed On Humans For Survival
4. Gwoemul (The Host)
The creature from this modern Korean horror classic appears out of nowhere during the first moments of the film in a scene filled with glorious chaos and unforgettable carnage.
Later on, we find out that the existence of this monster is not a twisted joke of mother nature, but a rather unfortunate consequence of the human tampering that has polluted the once pristine waters of the Han River. As an unexpected result, a gigantic and starved amphibious creature has been growing in the deep, far from people’s eyes, just waiting for a chance to catch larger and more nutritious prey.
Set in between the crisis of a Korean family that is slowly drifting apart, the unexpected appearance of the monster acts a profound symbol of both the fragility and the resilience of human relationships in times of tragedy and disaster. None of this matters to the creature, which is unavoidably compelled to eat and hunt without remorse.
Think about this movie the next time you’re about to dump toxic waste on a river, you could later become the snack of a monster of your own making.
