Parasite

À l'image traditionnelle de la pieuvre, la réalisatrice Carmen Butta préfère celle du parasite : comme lui, la mafia infiltre les structures existantes pour les détourner et les exploiter à son profit. Le documentaire accompagne des magistrats ou des hommes politiques siciliens qui combattent ce fléau. Contraints de vivre sous haute protection, ils s'accordent à dire que les mafiosi n'ont rien d'une espèce en voie de disparition. L'emprise du crime organisé sur la justice, l'administration, les milieux politiques progresse. Et cette "criminalité du troisième millénaire", explique Rosario Crocetta, ancien maire devenu député au Parlement européen, s'étend de plus en plus à des pays comme l'Allemagne, traditionnellement épargnés.

Paul Dean has created a deadly parasite that is now attached to his stomach. He and his female companion, Patricia Welles, must find a way to destroy it while also trying to avoid Ricus, his rednecks, and an evil government agent named Merchant.

In Host, Missouri, the newcomer Dr. of Veterinary Science Eli Rudkus is called by the farmer Jacob Long to exam one of his cows. The veterinarian finds a strange parasite in the animal and sends it to a friend in the Department of Agriculture for research. Later, he finds the same parasite in a creek and he summons the population for a meeting, warning that the cause might be the animal food. However, Fletcher Odermatt, the wealthy owner of the local Host Tender Meals that has been providing free animal food for the farmers, brings his lawyer Hayley Anderson and discredits Eli. When a huge mutant parasite attacks Eli and Jacob, they discover that the meals are actually an experimental genetic cocktail that is growing parasites inside the kettles and people.
