'Snowpiercer' director's Cannes breakout 'Parasite' gets chilling first trailer
Watch Next

When Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite won the top prize at Cannes, reviews all but called it the Korean director's finest work to date. Now scheduled for theatrical release, the film's first trailer promises nothing short of the twisted tale of class and concealment we're expecting from the auteur behind Snowpiercer and Okja.

Siblings Ki-jung (Park So-dam) and Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) embed themselves as educators in the affluent Park family household, inextricably linking the disparate families and the social structure that sustains them.

Parasite hits theaters Oct. 11.
