Tiny creatures called 'Parasites' have arrived on Earth with the sole purpose of taking over human bodies and preying on mankind. One such Parasite latches on to ordinary high school student, Shinichi Izumi. Fortunately, he is able to fight it off before it reaches his brain. But unfortunately, it is now stuck within his right hand. Shinichi cannot reveal his terrible secret to those around him, but a strange relationship develops between himself and the creature he calls "Migi" ("Righty"). Before long, they begin to encounter other Parasites which launch savage attacks against them and endanger the life of his childhood friend, Satomi. When Shinichi's beloved mother is killed and taken over by a Parasite, it becomes an all-out war between humanity and the Parasites. But nothing is black and white in this struggle. Why were the Parasites created? Are they here to cull our numbers? The planet needs to be preserved, but we also want to protect our loved ones. Amidst this conflict of values, Shinichi and Migi have no choice but to hurl themselves into the fight against the ever more complex attack of the Parasites. (Manga Home Entertainment)

Ah, the Japanese. For a while, you won't know if it's a comedy or a film for the whole family. In just a moment, though, you'll be assured that this really isn't for the family. It has gore that no horror movie would be ashamed of. Plus, the digital special effects are truly well-done, and I usually don't appreciate them much. I'm definitely curious about the second part.

Out of great concern, a very pleasant surprise in the end. I was lured to the film by the positive feedback from Japan and I certainly don't regret it. The film has perfect visuals and a solid idea and theme. Parasites infect a town, choose hosts that feed on human flesh, but the main character is infected by an alien parasite in his hand instead of his brain and they become friends, ironically working together to eliminate the rest of the infected. I commend the very original monster and some impressive scenes, especially the one with the dismembered bodies of the dead schoolgirls, there's a bit of gore, but I would have liked a bit more gore, but thumbs up, I'm looking forward to the second part as well. 65%
