| | Parasite Eve (Paraisito Ivu) (1997) |
 | | The film version of Parasite Eve is sort of obscure while its video game counterpart, which was Square Soft’s 1998 encore production after their greatest commercial hit, “Final Fantasy VII,” is much more recognizable. |
 | | In a classic example of poor planning, the film, which was made a year before the video game, didn’t receive an unofficial States release by ADV Films until 2001, after the video game’s sequel “Parasite Eve II”, a shoddy and unapologetic ripoff of the "Resident Evil" games, was welcomed with lukewarm sales and worse reviews. |
 | | When the 'Parasite Eve' of the title becomes known, she isn't defeated through a test of valor, wits and strength by our protagonists, but through something more subtle. |
