Wow. Even seeing Parasite did not prepare me for this one. Very glad to not have had it spoiled for me, I had visceral reactions to several of the reveals - plus Kim Hye-ja's screams are horrifying. Bong Joon-ho sure has a grim view of humanity, but is an absolute visual & storytelling genius.
I don't know if this was talked about, or if it was even up for interpretation, but since insecticide is known to cause lasting neurological problems in children, I wonder if the implication here is that the infanticide attempt actually caused or worsened the son's cognitive problems and ultimately led to the girl's death. That'd be so gutting.
Couldn't hardly ask for a better, darker start to this group.
