Parasite

Parasite belongs in your night if you want the relationships inside a family to matter as much as the plot. It is a fairly steady watch with good forward movement, with a fuller 133-minute runtime, and the Watch Profile puts attention at 4/10 and emotional impact at 8/10. The signals are strong enough to make this one of the easier calls in the queue.
