Parasite (2003)

A crew of cleaners are sent to an oil rig to spray a chemical. Before the scientist can get tehre, they screw things up big time and create giant worms that begin to tkae them out. And to add a little spice to the mix, a group of eco-terrorists crash the party! This movie blew chunks. Bad visual graphic can either make (or in this case) break a movie. And we're not just talking about the creature effects either. The rig itself and every explosion was done with a computer. Not to mention several of the actors were terrible and it was just painful to watch them choke out their lines. Oh, and then there is the issue of the power constantly going out. The ower went out five times during the movie. And every time they had to go fix the generator and get it running again. In fact, that seemed to take up a considerable amount of the film's time. Skip this one. 1 out of 5.
