Tiny creatures called "Parasites" have arrived on Earth with the sole purpose of taking over human brains and preying on mankind. One latches on to ordinary high school student, Shinichi Izumi. Whilst he is able to fight it off before it reaches his brain, it is now stuck within his right hand. But a strange relationship develops between himself and the creature he calls "Migi", and before long they begin to encounter other Parasites which launch savage attacks against them and endanger the lives of his friends and family. Shinichi and Migi have no choice but to work together and hurl themselves into the fight against an ever more complex and aggressive enemy. (Madman Entertainment)

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%

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.
