Mother

A few years back Bong Joon-Ho hit it big internationally with The Host, a film that satiated the cravings of the masses for a creature feature that was credible enough to be loved in the light of day. It’s only relevant here because his success there meant that the expectations for his follow up, Mother, were sky high so it is terribly exciting to discover that with his new found fame and confidence he delivered a creepy, Hitchcockian thriller that is easily one of the best films of the year.
