Jordan Peele’s 2017 film Get Out and Bong Joon-Ho’s 2019 film Parasite are prime examples of the subgenre social thrillers. These two films have moulded the subgenre due to their different cultural approaches. Parasite follows the Kim family who are struggling through poverty and find a way to all work in the same household for a wealthy South-Korean family, the film shows the power that money has on Korean society and the lengths the poor are willing to go to get it. Peele’s Get Out on the other hand follows Chris, an African American man, who goes with his White girlfriend to visit her parents for the weekend. After arriving Chris slowly realises that his girlfriend’s parents are abducting African Americans and brainwashing them. The film focuses on racial alienation and shows the racially motivated anxiety Black people are faced with. Peele’s film was one of the first films to be named a sociological thriller (social thriller) and brought mass attention to the subgenre. I choose these two films as they both present large societal issues for each of their cultures for example, poverty in South Korea and racism in North America.
