I saw one of the director's other films, The Host, years ago and really liked it so searched for a few more and they were great (Memories of Murder is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant).
Bur Parasite did nothing for me which was a shame.

I'm still amazed Basketcase(1982) wasn't even nominated! It had everything, mutant powers, siamese twins, circular saws...
That takes me back

Memories of Murder is great, I don't watch horror so haven't seen The Host.
