Trailer for 'The Host 2' Emerges from the Deep

South Korea's The Host was one of the best movies of 2007, a real turning point in monster movies. It's got more going for it than Cloverfield, in my opinion, even though it didn't get the hype and it doesn't use the hand-held camera technique. Now there's a sequel on the way, and that could be a good thing or a bad thing, I suppose. I've found that especially with a movie that has no inroads for you, like a director you really admire or stars you grew up with, they can become these terrific discoveries and they can lose some of their luster if you start seeing t-shirts for it everywhere or they do a big budget remake. Sequels can fall in that category. On the other hand, if the first one was so good, there's a natural tendency to believe that returning to that story armed with a little more cash and a little more confidence should make a worthwhile follow-up. It doesn't always happen that way. But I'm holding out hope for The Host 2, even though director Joon-ho Bong is not back behind the camera. Here's the 30-second teaser, courtesy of Ropes of Silicon. Expect to see The Host 2 in theaters next year, and if you haven't checked out the first film, do yourself a favor and rent it this weekend.

Hi, listen, I tried to read your post, but there's a huge generic viagra
in front of my screen and I can't take it off! I already closed the window and opened it again and it won't work.
