Bong Joon-ho‘s critically acclaimed new film Parasite opens in New York & Los Angeles on October 11, and NEON has unleashed a brand new trailer ahead of the release.
This one is loaded with rave reviews out of recent festivals, with many critics calling it a masterpiece. Bloody Disgusting’s own Serena Fischer attended the premiere and wrote about how Parasite gets under your skin. “This film will stick with you long after the end credits roll and remain under your skin, much like its title implies,” she wrote in her review for us.
In Parasite, “Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. Be it chance or fate, these two houses are brought together and the Kims sense a golden opportunity. Masterminded by college-aged Ki-woo, the Kim children expediently install themselves as tutor and art therapist to the Parks. Soon, a symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. But this new ecosystem is fragile, and soon enough greed and class prejudice threaten to upend the Kims’ newfound comfort.”
Song Kang Ho (Snowpiercer, The Host) stars as Ki-taek alongside Lee Sun-kyun (A Hard Day) and Cho Yeo-jeong (Obsessed) as the Parks, and Choi Woo Shik (Okja), Park So-dam (The Priests) and Chang Hyae Jin (Poetry) as, respectively, Ki-taek’s son, daughter and wife.
