So PARASITE EVE was a best-selling novel in Japan which they made into a live action film before it became a game. . In it, a scientist named Toshiaki Nagashima is doing research on mitochondria, little cell organism things in the human and animal body that sometimes behave like parasites. In the movie Toshiaki’s hot young wife dies, (she is AMAZINGLY beautiful), well he decides that he can’t live without her even though he has been ignoring her the whole movie so he wants to replicate her using her mitochondria by culturing her liver that this other doctor steals for him. She then seduces him into having mitochondria- human sex with her…..isn’t that illegal?

After that the mitochondria decide to take over the world but ummm something gets in the way Toshiaki loves his wife soooo much and she loved him too and oh no the mitochondria loves him too. Sigh….. What a beautiful love story. Love does conquer all doesn’t it?

Well love did not conquer the bad taste the end of this movie left in my mouth. Now without the ending the movie would have gotten ….3 out of 5. But with the ending this movie drops down to 1 out of 5. Yep that’s right guys an ending that takes a horribly hot(?) monster with no nipples and love conquering all does nothing for ol’ Malady here. Maybe if you’re some sort of Japanese movie freak and love the oddity of the films you will like this movie. Otherwise play the game which btw has NOTHING to do with the movie.
