EASTERN PROMISES presents THE HOST

EASTERN PROMISES is dedicated to showcasing the best of East Asian cinemas, from beloved classics to forgotten gems. Celebrating 4/20 and the films of Bong Joon-Ho, The Paradise Bloor Theatre and Eastern Promises Presents an all-day event… Bong Hits!!

The second film of Bong Hits, we’re screening the monster mayhem extravaganza, Bong Joon Ho’s The Host.

Careless American military personnel dump chemicals into South Korea's Han River. Several years later, a creature emerges from the tainted waters and sinks its ravenous jaws into local residents. When the creature abducts their daughter (Go Ah-sung), a vendor (Song Kang-ho) and his family put their differences aside and decide that they are the only ones who can save her. What ensues is a block buster roller coaster ride of fun, hilarity, monster mayhem, amazing Bong Joon-Ho sequences, and the wholesome unification of a family for the common goal to save their own.
