Meet Elmer. He’s your local, friendly parasite with the ability to induce euphoric hallucinations in his hosts. But these LSD-like trips come with a hefty price tag. When young Brian comes under Elmer’s addictive spell, it’s not long before he finds himself scouring the city streets in search of his parasite’s preferred food source – brains! (Arrow Films)

Considering that this is a film where the murderous villain is a talking worm with funny mouth and eyes, I surprisingly liked Brain Damage. You can take it as a nicely perverted comedy, but also as horror, because the story is not so funny.
