10 Best Accidental Horror Movies
2. Parasite
Parasite shook the cinematic world after its release, not only because of the success it had at the Oscars but also thanks to the mainstream popularity it found in English-speaking markets, something that foreign language movies don't often attain. It achieved this success thanks to phenomenal writing, incredible amounts of tension, strong characters and some truly disturbing implications.
The movie follows a young man named Ki Woo, who poses as a university student, and gets hired by the wealthy Park family to tutor their daughter. Eventually, Ki Woo's entire family - the Kims - get in on the deception as they work together to push out the Park's workers and take their places, all while keeping their identity secret.
To further discuss the scariest aspects of this movie, some major spoilers need to be given, so if you haven't watched the flick - which you definitely should - then do not read on.
While the small-scale invasion of the Park family comes with enough tension and creepiness, it turns into downright horror after discovering that a mentally unstable and thoroughly creepy man lives in a hidden bunker underneath the house. This takes the film from tense to terrifying, as he lashes out against the Kim family and is even shown to have traumatised the youngest Park.
