Parasite War 2018 / 寄生侵略 PARASITE WAR 2018 /

In PARASITE WAR, Ota stars as Sachiko Obayashi, an investigator for the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare who crosses paths with a malignant extraterrestrial organism known as a ‟Mule‟. The ‟Mule‟ attaches itself to the inside of its victim's skull, manipulating the body like a puppet before ultimately devouring the brain. When hiding in a human host, the ‟Mule‟ is virtually indistinguishable from a non-infected person. Obayashi tracks the parasite to a hospital, where she manages to trap it in a secluded wing. However, the ‟Mule‟ immediately abandons its injured host body and finds a new host. Sachiko most discover who is infected from a group of 5 people - a doctor, a nurse, and three patients - before the ‟Mule‟ manages to escape.
