The film, parasite came out late October 2019, but sadly, considering that it’s a South Korean movie its audience reach is quite low.

Where to watch parasite?

It is quite hard to watch or download the parasite movie with English subtitles. The main problem is that the film is South-Korean, thereby making it harder to find a cinema or a site where you can watch or download movies. I myself have had the problem of finding a site where I could watch this movie, having now discovered one I have chosen to share this info with you.

Here are some of the sites where you can watch parasite:

1. Amazon Prime: This is a great platform by Amazon. You can open the site or download the app and start watching movies. It offers a wide range of movies that can be bought, rent, etc. and the parasite is thankfully in their movie library. The only downside is that you have to pay a fee each month or yearly.
2. Vudu: This is a great app that has been running for several years. It is very similar to Netflix in that you pay for a monthly subscription and are then able to watch all the movies and series on their playlist. This is a great choice for those who just want to sit back and watch this amazing movie on their phones.
3. Apple Tv: This is a great option for those with an iPhone, though it’s also a good choice for laptop users. With Apple Tv, you can watch as many movies as you want, and unlike the other choices where you have to pay a subscription to use the app, Apple Tv doesn’t require a subscription, all you have to do is ‘rent’ the movie you want and then you’re able to watch it for the duration of your rent. It costs $4 to rent parasite. Android users don’t have access to this app yet.

But if somehow you do manage to find this movie, then considering the fact that it’s in Korean you’re probably looking for where you can get subtitles right now. Just read the subtopic below and you’ll get to know-how.

How to manually add a subtitle to the movie?

Final Words

Unfortunately, this movie is quite hard to find, that’s why we have so many of you searching for where to download and watch parasite with English subtitles. The movie is so popular, for reasons I’ve already stated in the article, but sadly it’s just as hard to find. If you have the money it’s not really that hard to watch, as I’ve shown, there are many methods, it’s just that they require money. For those who want to watch it free, there are currently no websites streaming this movie. The ones that you may see online are likely camrips (recorded in a Cinema with a camera).
