Parasite (1982)

"That thing on your stomach..."

"A new strain of parasite. I deserve it, in a way. I created it."

"For the Merchants? Why?"

"I thought for the government. They're so mixed up with the Merchants now, they work for one another. This 'thing', as you call it, is growing. It's dormant now but it will soon grow larger... and kill me."

Parasite (1982)

My rating: 6/10

I still don't quite understand why, exactly, the megacorp needed an evil parasite (maybe as a mascot? It would represent them well), but the effects are good, the plot moves at a good pace, and the characters are actually a little bit more nuanced than you'd expect from this kind of movie. Overall, pretty good.
