Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

PARASITE is a cheesy low budget B-movie filmed in a couple of desert buildings that feels very much like an inferior rip-off of ALIEN with a creature that resembles a mix between a facehugger and a chestburster. It was directed by Charles Band, that purveyor of cinematic trash, and was part of the short-lived 3D craze of the early 1980s. I watched it in 2D but the 3D didn't seem so special to me. The film features early special effects by Stan Winston, just two years before THE TERMINATOR, but they're not so special either. Demi Moore appears in a pre-stardom role, but Robert Glaudini gives the best performance as the dedicated scientist who don't let a nasty case of infestation stop him carrying out his research. Being a Charles Band film, he manages to fit laser effects in there somewhere. As a whole this really doesn't hang together too well and that's a pity because I'm a huge fan of the sci-fi/horror genre.

A very cheesy early 80's horror movie, and in 3D no less. I've never seen the 3D version of the film but I honestly don't think it would make watching this any better. The main problem with the movie is that it is quite boring. Demi Moore does a good job here, but she is one of the only actors that is halfway decent. Of course nobody watches these kinds of movies to see good acting anyway, so what about the title creatures? They aren't that good either unfortunately. Stan Winston did the effects for this movie and apart from one or two scenes (especially the saloon owner's demise) it doesn't look like he tried very hard on this one, although the lack of funding probably didn't help either. Overall, I would not suggest this movie to anyone unless they really love cheesy Roger Corman flicks. Really, really cheesy Roger Corman flicks.

Totally dud and irritating early 80's monster crap that righteously would be forgotten already, if it weren't for the fact that superstar Demi Moore experienced her very first leading role here. It's often interesting to find out about the tiny low-budget productions that introduced big stars to the movie industry, but this thing is a catastrophe and it's actually a miracle that Demi Moore ever made it to the top if you see her painfully bad & amateurish performance in "Parasite". She's not just bad, she really sucks and her only consolation is that everyone and everything else sucked, too! The script is boring and filled with annoying clichés, Charles Band completely forgot to add suspense and the contemporary very popular 3-D special effects are truly childish. The events in "Parasite" supposedly take place after a nation-wide disaster, and I usually LOVE that, but director Band completely fails to illustrate an eerie apocalyptic ambiance. The populations in towns has decreased to less than 50 and you have to pay a fortune for a fresh piece of fruit, but there are no other things that indicate we're in a hopeless future. The sole scientist Paul Dean, with a parasite monster developing in his stomach, flees to a godforsaken desert town to work on a cure. There's a cruel government agent following him, and even the local imbeciles don't leave him in peace, as they steal his equipment and infect themselves with flesh-eating parasites. Those idiots! I'd like to name one (just ONE) amusing sequence or ingenious element to be not entirely negative, but I really can't think of anything. Even Stan Winston's creature designs are lousy. Skip it, people.

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."
