Slightly disturbing, but really cool; This short film made entirely with public domain footage is a promotional meme for a magazine article on, well, killer parasites. Killer use of stock footage, mixing many scenes from many movies together to create something with that creepy vibe only the 1950’s could do just right.
I would have given bonus points if they’d done some notch filtering on the audio and added some crackle and pop to give it that antique recording equipment feel. The visuals are wonderfully produced, but the audio snaps the suspension of disbelief a little by being too good for the period.
