Gwoemul (aka The Host)
On 09 February 2000, the American military base of Yongson releases toxic chemicals into the Han River. Six years later, a mutant squid monster leaves the water and attacks people on the side of the river. Park Hyun-seo is carried off by the creature and vanishes into the river. While grieving her loss, her slow father Park Gang-du; her grandfather and owner of a bar-kiosk nearby the river Park Hie-bong; her aunt and archery medalist Park Nam-Joo; and her graduated unemployed uncle Park Nam-il are sent by the army with all the people that had some sort of contact with the monster to quarantine. During the night, Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-seo telling him that she is alive in a big sewer nearby the river. Gang-du tells the military but nobody believes him, saying that he is delusional due to the shock of his loss. The Park family joins forces trying to find Hyun-seo and rescue her
