All unemployed, Ki-taek's family takes peculiar interest in the wealthy and glamorous Parks for their livelihood until they get entangled in an unexpected incident.
This movie contains 53 potentially triggering events.
Debatable, the mcs aren't abused by anyone, they're just suffering due to being in the lower class and start acting in morally incorrect ways later on.
A child is subjected to shock and psychological hangups from the events surrounding him, but at no point does someone actively attempt to harm the child.
There's no actual drug use in the film. The scene where the rich woman mentions drugs is ambiguous. She says it during sex, and in context it could be taken as roleplay (fantasising about a sleazy encounter on drugs), which is how I saw it. Some viewers saw it as a request for drugs, but there's no other indication that this character uses drugs.
to counter the comment above, the mother is actually only roleplaying, and drug use is only refrenced to as two characters assume another character is sleeping with an addict.
a character who is a known alcoholic pees outside someone's house while intoxicated. there's a confrontation, but it's played for comedic effect. characters drink heavily in another scene for fun.
Despite the title, not many bugs. One stink-bug is shown in close-up, a house is fumigated (without bugs being seen), and cockroaches are talked about. The title is more of a metaphor so don't worry about bug-centric horror scenes or anything.
Could those who voted yes say where this happens? I’ve seen this movie multiple times and I’m wracking my brains trying to figure out where this would even be implied
Some viewers may be uncomfortable with the relationship between a college-aged tutor and his high-school-aged pupil (there's kissing but no sex between them). Also, there is a scene where three people inadvertently witness a consensual sexual encounter while hiding under a table; the witnesses don't want to be there, and the couple don't know they're not alone, so it's quite an uncomfortable scene.
a character has a severe allergy to peaches that is triggered a few times in the movie. she doesn't die and it seems mostly manageable, but she kind of has an asthma attack.
No, but there is a character who has been living in an underground bunker for multiple years, and there are scenes where there is potential for other characters getting trapped in the bunker.
The back of someone's head is hit/smashed with a large rock; I would not describe it as "squashed". The victim survives. We see the rock come down, and blood, but we don't see the injury directly.
For me, no. Two people are tied up tightly and painfully, and one of them is pushed down the stairs while tied up, which may count as torture. Overall, the violence in this film is much more fighting/confrontation than torture, which makes a difference for me personally as someone who really dislikes seeing torture.
No, but if protruding eyes bother you there is a scary scene where a man slowly comes up from the basement when the mother talks about her daughter seeing a ghost.
(SPOILERS) In an intense climactic scene, a young boy has a seizure and there's doubt over whether he can get to hospital in time to save his life. To me, the film left it ambiguous as to whether he dies or not. But it's a strong possibility.
Ambiguous. A tutor and his pupil begin a romantic relationship (only kissing is shown). We also know that the pupil was involved with her previous tutor, who wants to resume the relationship when he returns from overseas. That's the previous tutor's side of the story; it's not clear whether the student thinks there is a commitment.
A young boy believes he has seen a ghost, and his mother thinks the house is haunted. Viewers know there's a different explanation and the ghosts aren't real.
No real jump scares. Some scenes involving violence can be unsettling to some but there are NO sudden jumpscares like in a ghost horror movie. Also there are no scary looking ghost like characters. You can comfortably watch the full movie without worrying about any jumpscares.
At the beginning of the film and about halfway through, a drunk man pees (as a sort of comedic aspect). He unzips his pants to do so but still urinates in a public place in a visible stream.
It's not someone with a specific disorder, more someone who has been through a lot of stress, isolation and trauma including recently fighting for their life and they snap. I didn't feel it played specifically into the 'let's portray people with mental illness as violent' trope, but when they become violent because of everything they've been through they're basically having a breakdown, so may still be triggering for that reason.
a hundred times yes. Theres a lot of slurping of noodles in one scene. Other than that not too much. But I had to pause it and take a break it was so bad.
(SPOILERS) Several important scenes take place in a secret underground bunker. This space has several rooms and is as large as a small apartment, but the scenes do feel claustrophobic anyway.
No, but some related things are worth mentioning in case they have potential to trigger someone. There is someone who has gone without food for weeks, but involuntarily. And several scenes involve stealing and hiding food for non-ED reasons.
the youngest son of the rich family dresses up as a native american and 'camps' in the garden in a 'tipi'. later in the movie he forces another character to wear a larger headdress as well.
this is critized in the movie its here to make the character seem unaware and privileged
No, but a father and his son and daughter are stuck hiding under a table while a couple has sex on the couch next to them. This may be uncomfortable or triggering.
not very much, but there is a scene where 2 (consenting adult) people touch each other through their clothes. you see them clearly doing so and there is moaning and stuff, but no nudity. it goes on for a few minutes as 3 people hiding under a table have to hear it, unwittingly to the 2 parties engaging sexually.
