English title: The Host.
Synopsis: A huge monster appears in a river and starts attacking people at the river banks.
Appraisal: Interesting mix of sci-fi thriller, comedy and drama, which boasts competent effects and good camerawork. It departs somewhat from the conventions of thrillers: the editing is not frenetic and the film proceeds at a gentler pace than others. Also, the humor is present is several situations, giving the film a distinct mark. The plot has some questionable elements, particularly in the latter half of the movie, which I will not reveal here. It seems like they just didn't spend enough time and effort on the screenplay. Anyway, the net result is positive and I mildly recommend it.
