If you loved Tales of the Unusual, try Parasite Eve

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Masayuki Ochiai, and they sit in Horror / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Tales of the Unusual, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Parasite Eve is

November déjà-vu in a Seoul lab, the scent of formaldehyde so sharp it curls the nostrils. A geneticist's preserved wife revives cell by cell, assembling crowds of mitochondria into something glaring at the skylight. One long zoom from a tripod and a jump-cut—early Hou Hsiao-hsien horror by way of a subway car.
