Parasitic

About This Movie

Parasitic is this intriguing dive bar tale that combines atmosphere with a sense of existential dread. It’s got that gritty feel—think dim lights, smoky air, and a soundtrack that feels pulled from the margins of urban life. The pacing lingers, pulling you into the writer’s struggle as he grapples with his own demons, and the practical effects here are a standout, adding a visceral layer that’s hard to shake off. The performances feel real, raw, and almost painfully honest. There’s something distinct about how it approaches the theme of creativity and consumption, both literally and metaphorically, making it stick in your mind long after that last call.

Parasitic has a bit of a cult following among collectors, though details about its release are somewhat murky. It hasn't seen a wide distribution, which adds to its allure and scarcity in physical formats. The film's unique blend of themes and practical effects can be a talking point among enthusiasts, and it’s one of those finds that often gets passed around in collector circles, sparking interest for its raw portrayal of artistic struggle.
