Korean Horror Movie Mutates into Cellphone and PSP Games

If anything’s going to ruin a nice day out in Korea, it’s got to be those mutants. At least, that’s what director Joon-Ho Bong wants us to think on the big screen.

If we’re lucky, though, he’s going to want us to think the same thing on our cellphones and PSPs.

His movie The Host tells the tale of a disjointed family, the Parks, on a less-than-ordinary day. The patriarch, Hee-Bong, and his children, Gang-du, Nam-Joo, and Nam-il, are connected only by their almost overprotective love for Hyun-Seo, Gang-du’s daughter.

On this particular day, a mutated creature rises from the river, appearing in broad daylight for some unknown purpose, killing people along the way. The creature takes Hyun-Seo with it, and the Park family is lost without her. That is, until, their disjointed family bands together to take the battle to the beast and to save Gang-du’s daughter, as well as their family.

The movie, critically acclaimed at Cannes, is now slated for games on both the mobile phone and the PSP, with the PSP game being a role-playing affair from the perspective of a chosen member of the Park family.

While we try to dig up some more information, enjoy this trailer for The Host, and wait for the one-minute mark, as it’s a mild shock to the system.
