GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
nzswanny Charles Band has made a lot of good movies in his time, but a lot of his movies are bad too. However, if you watch his movies older than 1999, their usually good. This is one of his movies before 1999, and I have to say, it had a brilliant hook at the start of the movie. However, after that it did introduce us that the movie was set in the future, however it kinda dragged a little on about the gangsters and other surroundings in the future. Myself, I think they could be able to shorten that bit five minutes shorter, but then again, slow movies do seem to express how the character's personalities well, and I'm usually quite forgiving. After some 30 minutes of dragging on, they finally get back to the story. Yay, finally. And ever since that, the movie actually started to become really good. So, it is recommended you go see this movie, even if it is a little slow in parts. I rate it 7.4/10.
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) The future, only time will tell what could happen then. Well, the USA has become a total wasteland, and the government is making the biggest cover up in its whole life. Of course, the government is not running the show, it is run by an organization called the Merchants. One doctor(Robert Glaudini), creates an organism that is capable of doing exactly harm to the degeneration populace. He infects himself on purpose so he could study further, and then destroy it. He runs afoul of hooligans and a pursuer name Wolf(James Davidson), who works for the Merchants. After the hooligans steal the canister, thinking it's vital, they were in for the shock of their lives. Now it's up to the doctor, a lemon farmer(Demi Moore, in her debut) and a shop owner to take charge of the menace that is threatening the town. "Parasite" was a 3D put on. And it was most likely to be a teaser of a film. Plenty of action, and plenty of cheese. Most likely make you want to take better care of your health and life. It's not for germaphobes. 2 out of 5 stars.
haildevilman Most people are only interested in this for the then unknown Demi Moore's appearance. Seeing her in her tight shorts made this worth a check.The lack of cast was obvious. It's as if the producers were cutting costs in the middle of scenes. Keep changing the camera direction and maybe no one will notice the two cheap sets they kept using.Robert Glaudini did an OK job with his role. Sometimes it seemed as if he was sleepwalking though. Some rumors flew around at one point that it was really David Carradine slumming, but nope.Demi's acting hasn't changed much. She was a wide-eyed emotional type back then too. But she looked good because she looked NORMAL. Not so much enhancement if you get my drift. But what was her character doing there anyway? Lots of fire and threatening gestures. But the creature itself looked pretty good. And it mostly took place during a sunny day, which was kind of different.But I agree with Chas. Balun. "Worth a look only if you see it in 3-D, FORGET the videocassette."
moonspinner55 Residents in a tumbleweed town are the targets for an escaped parasite. While I could honestly say that "Parasite" is one of the worst films I have ever seen, that statement wouldn't entirely be true as "Parasite" isn't actually a 'film'--it's a junk heap disguised as one. Uncomfortable in the extreme to watch, and I don't simply mean the disgusting gross-out stuff, I'm referring to the sleazy way director Charles Band stages the action and degrades his cast. Good actors like Demi Moore and Cherie Currie are treated like chattel. I did love the futuristic car which makes an appearance mid-movie--it probably cost more to rent that thing than the flick did to produce! Dreadful grade-Z garbage left me feeling grimy. NO STARS from ****
