Parasyte: Part 1, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, is a 2014 Japanese science fiction film based on the manga series, Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The movie is the first of the two-part franchise and was followed by Parasyte: Part 2. The story follows a high school student named Shinichi Izumi, played by Shota Sometani, who is living a normal life in Tokyo until he is infected by a parasitic alien life-form known as a Parasyte. Shinichi's right arm is taken over by the creature, which he names Migi, and together they must work to fend off other Parasytes that are killing and consuming humans.

As Shinichi and Migi start to work together, they begin to uncover a sinister plan behind the Parasytes' actions. The duo meets other humans who have been infected by the parasites, each with their unique struggles to control their bodies and minds as the Parasytes take over.

Shinichi's life changes dramatically as he is forced to navigate this new world while keeping his head down and not drawing attention to himself or Migi. Meanwhile, the Parasytes evolve and develop their powers and threaten to wipe out humanity.

The cast of the movie comprises of talented actors such as Eri Fukatsu, Ai Hashimoto, Kazuki Kitamura, Masahiro Higashide, Tadanobu Asano, and Jun Kunimura. Eri Fukatsu plays the role of Ryoko Tamiya, a fellow teacher at Shinichi's school, who is also a Parasyte.

Ai Hashimoto portrays the character of Satomi Murano, Shinichi's childhood friend, and potential love interest. Kazuki Kitamura plays the role of Hideo Shimada, a freelance journalist who uncovers the truth about the Parasytes.

Tadanobu Asano stars as Goto, a Parasyte who seeks Shinichi and Migi while Jun Kunimura portrays the character of the detective Hirama, who is investigating the recent spate of murders.

The film's visuals are stunning and feature excellent special effects that bring the Parasyte organisms to life. The fight scenes are well-choreographed, and the action is not over the top, making it more realistic.

Overall, Parasyte: Part 1 is a thrilling and engaging science fiction movie that will captivate viewers from start to finish.
