Parasite Eve (1997)

A live action film adapted from Hideaki Sena's début novel, Parasaito Ivu (1995). The creepy science is disturbing food for thought in any language and the tragedy is well-played, but together they eventually lead the story into the realm of hokum. Once that happens much of the established terror is lost. Until then, the atmosphere is good, if a little slow to develop.
