I love the Korean director Joon-ho Bong. I've only seen two of his movies, and he is super fun to watch. I saw The Host when it came out, and this director is fantastic with horror; not quite Tokyo horror, but his own brand. The DVD cover says something like "as good as Jaws", and I agree. This movie crosses Alien and Jaws and probably Gojira. I really love it. Plus this director has a way with anti-heroes that is really fun for a change of pace. He doesn't have a Bruce Willis type rushing in to save the day.
This weekend I picked up another of his movies, and discovered he is consistent, and doesn't just do horror. He can do a great serial killer / cop drama. I recommend picking up Memories of Murder. Maybe you should put both in your Netflix list?
