Having turned the police procedural on its head with the magnificent Memories of Murder, director Bong Joon Ho looked to the kaiju movie for his next genre recalibration. A supremely entertaining monster mash, The Host marries political satire to family drama in an action extravaganza for the ages.
Before the global success of Parasite, Bong Joon Ho made his English-language debut with this high-concept vision of a world on the verge of collapse. Jump aboard with a monster ensemble including Octavia Spencer, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt & Song Kang-ho and let the clash of class hierarchies begin!
The mordantly funny social satire of Parasite was there right from the start in this feature debut from South Korean genre maestro Bong Joon Ho. A raucously unsentimental feast of dark ironies, Barking Dogs Never Bite takes its canine allegory—and puppy punishment—to wickedly farcical ends.
