Parasyte is a science fiction live action film adapted from the 1988 manga of Hitoshi Iwaaki. Parasyte begins in the setting of japan, wherein the story involves alien like worms falling from the sky and enters the ears and noses of human beings to assume control of them by travelling to their brains. One tries to enter a teenager named Shinichi Izumi but fails to do so because of the headphones blocking the ears, decides to enter his right hand.
The two gains each other's trust as the plot continues on, as the two comes to an understanding that both of them will not survive if one of them dies. So they take on action and defend each other by fighting off other Parasytes that would threaten their existence. The movie itself did not gain much upvotes from the public, especially in the western. Someone had made an article in Kotaku about the film's flaws as well.
The movie did not level to the audience's expectations. Namely the impact of the story itself was not enough for the film as there were so many plot changes compared to the manga adaptation. As well as the character development of the story, something that the audiences would've appreciated, but somehow most of the Characters of the film were bland and uninteresting. It's another film that brings a cliche mark on the Japanese international film industry which has a taste for altering the characters and storyline that was supposed to be adapted from the manga. *Cough* Attack on titan *Cough*.
