Parasite Is The Shiniest Jewel, Truly Worth To Watch.

Even though Parasite is not a strict horror film (it’s more like a black comedy), it has a complex story that can be very dark and twisted at times.

The Movie is so good that it deserves to be acknowledged as a multi-category film.

The Movie flirts with different genres and knows how to nail it.

Parasite follow a poor family, the Kims, who parasite a wealthy family (The Parks), almost living in their house and lying to them constantly about their true identities.


The Kim family lives in a banjiha, which is a semi-basement flat.


They live in the crowded Seoul, struggling for money with their low-income jobs.
The crude reality of a lot of Koreans living in a basement in one of the most advanced and affluent cities in the whole world.


When they meet the Parks, The Kims prepare a plan to get each of them a job in the house, pretending to be something they are not.


The Movie entangles more and more, showing us the differences between the families, the arrogance of the Parks, and the jealousy of the Kims. It leaves us with an excellent portrait of the constant battle between social classes.


The more we get into the plot, the crisper it becomes. It shows us what each character really has inside of them, situations that are perhaps not so funny but terrifying and painful, slowly revealing the truth hidden behind the walls of the Parks mansion.
