Parasite (2006), directed by David Zellis, brings a darkly atmospheric blend of crime and horror. The pacing is almost claustrophobic, enhancing Jock Van Rysell's unraveling sanity as a parasitic patient disrupts his seemingly stable life. Zellis crafts a tone that swings between psychological dread and surreal absurdity, making you question what’s real. The practical effects are quite striking, contributing to the visceral nature of Van Rysell's breakdown, and the performances feel raw. The film dives into themes of dependency and the fragility of mental health, which is both unsettling and compelling. There's just something uniquely off about this movie that stays with you, marking its place in genre history.
