3 WAY WITH A PARASITIC BUG...WHAT WHAT??!! By: SASHA SLAUGHTER

Hey now! What's good? Okay, this is another post by the busty Sasha Slaughter. Again, we're making some changes around here and as of now we're right on schedule. So as I've been saying, we'll have new shit on Monday so until then, hang tight and enjoy these re-posts. Thanks for your patience and we'll see you on the flip side! Mucho love-o, your buddy, Zombie Zane.
This time I'm telling the truth, this is the final day of random stuff month...I promise!! Sasha Slaughter here with you creeps for the final time this week to bring you one last day of totally random shit. Since I am the "series girl" (According to Zane) I'll be reviewing Masters of Horror episode 10: Sick Girl. It was directed by Lucky McKee and based on a story written by Mckee and Sean Hood.

Ida Teeter is a shy entomologist who has a wide variety of insects throughout her home, which happen to be the cause of her most recent break up from her girlfriend. Max Grubb, a fellow employee of Ida's, informs her that her obsession with her job is the reason why her lady friends never stick around very long. She is heartbroken by this and decides to try something different. She runs into the beautiful and strange Misty Falls, who sits in the lobby of McNaughton Museum of Natural History everyday and draws pixies on her sketch pad. She is instantly attracted to Misty and is enamored with the possibility of being with her, but her co worker tells her "Babes or bugs. You can't have both".

That same day a mysterious package shows up on Ida's doorstep. It is postmarked from Brazil and it contains a large mantis-like insect. The landlady knocks on Ida's door and says she is concerned with all of Ida's "pets" and asks her to please keep them in check. Later that night she examines the mantis-like creature and fondly names him Mick. She calls Max and tells him about the creature and leaves to go speak to him. Shortly after Ida leaves, Mick escaped from the plastic tank. The following day Ida finally gathers up the courage and asks Misty to dinner that night. Misty enthusiastically agrees and they go out do dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Misty then asks Ida if they can watch a movie called "Texas Pixies" on Ida's DVD player. Ida agrees but is worried what Misty would think of her large collection of bugs. Meanwhile, while they are on their date, Mick finds the Landlady's dog and drags it into one of Ida's bedroom pillows and eats it. Later on there are posters advertising the lost dog.                                      
 Ida shows Misty the apartment but makes sure to not let her see the bug collection. They drink bourbon and watch "Texas Pixies" together. They start getting closer but Ida sees one of her bugs, named Max, and rushes to put him back in the cage. When she comes back she sees that Misty has fallen asleep on the couch. She goes to the bedroom and gets a pillow (The one that Mick is hidden inside of) and puts it under Misty's head. She wakes up from her drunken slumber and realizes she is too drunk to drive. Ida allows Misty to stay the night. Misty returns the favor by stripping off her shirt and seducing Ida. Mick is still in the pillow and while Ida and Misty are together, Mick nips Misty's ear, but she dismisses it. Ida wakes up the following morning to find that Misty has found her vast bug collection and has a great interest in it. Ida also discovers that her favorite professor, the great Malcolm Wolf happens to be Misty's father.

Ida finally realizes that Mick has escaped and the two spend the morning searching the apartment for him. Ida describes the bug to Misty and Misty draws a picture for Ida. Ida leaves to take the drawing to Max, but Max doesn't take the matter seriously. Shortly after Ida leaves, Misty begins feeling pain in her right ear. She scratches it and finds a small sample of some foreign saliva and then suddenly becomes too weak to stand. Ida comes back from her meeting with Max and discovers that Misty brought her things with her and is starting to move in. Misty starts displaying strange and unusual tendencies, such as an appetite for Ida's bugs.

                                                                                                     
 While doing the laundry, Misty finds the pillow that Mick has been hiding and has the strange urge to lay next to it. While doing so, Mick comes out of the pillow and invades her incredibly chewed on ear. Ida gets a letter that same day and it seems almost apologetic in nature, which she suspects is from Malcolm Wolf. The letter explains that the insect could be dangerous. Ida finds Misty in the hallway and Misty grabs her for a passionate kiss in front of the landlady and her young granddaughter. She is disgusted by the display and berates the two women before giving them two weeks to pack their things and move out. When they get back into the apartment, Ida tells Misty that she is horrified by her strange behavior and crude remarks to the landlady. Misty goes into a rage and then passes out. Upon waking up Misty tells Ida about a fairytale-like dream where she was a fairy resting on a lily pad. She then encountered a beautiful bug, whom she described as Mick. She tells Ida that he landed on her and inserted his proboscis into her navel and inserted "his juices" into her. The phone rings and it's Max asking Ida to come to the lab immediately.

When she arrives at the lab Max tells her everything about the bug from Brazil. He tells her that the bug is found inhabiting the nests of birds and other animals where it behaves like a parasite. It inserts its proboscis into the animal and drinks its blood while at the same time invading the hosts reproductive DNA and making the host carry out the insects young. Max insists that its funny, but Ida is terrified that Misty had in fact been bitten by the bug. Back at the apartment the bug inseminates Misty during a sexual encounter. Misty leaves the apartment and finds an eviction notice stapled to the door. She sees the landlady and says crude and offensive things to her. The landlady is revolted, calling Misty a monster when Misty morphs two insect eyes, and the terrified landlady falls over the stairway to her death.
                                            
Ida returns home to see the corpse of her landlady being wheeled away by medics. Misty tries to make light of the situation in front of Betty, the landlady's granddaughter. Ida is repulsed that Misty would do such a thing and calls Max over to her apartment. Ida finds Misty in the bathtub and she reveals to Ida that the bug has been in a pillow the whole time. Ida is almost convinced that the insect has bitten Misty when Misty reveals a secret. She tells Ida that her father, Malcolm Wolf, sent the insect to Ida in hopes that it would bite her and make her repulsive to Misty. Misty gets out of the tub and morphs into a human-bug monster. Ida begins screaming and Max breaks into the apartment only to be instantly killed by Misty. While Ida is laying on the floor, Mick scurries over to her and....

What does the creepy little bug to do poor Ida?? If you wanna know that badly, watch Sick Girl and find out!! Now, I'm too sure about this episode. I mean, the people in it were weird. Ida was incredibly awkward and Misty was strange too. The acting was definitely over the top, although I think it was meant to be a little campy. There really wasn't much blood, no nekkidness (And you'd think you'd see some cuz there were some sensual lesbian moments...but noooo) and like 2 death scenes. Ehh. The bug looked kinda creepy, I'd spaz if I found something like that gnawing on my ear, that's for sure. And Ida's voice was the absolute most annoying thing ever...OMG!! She kind of sounds like Kat Von D, but more aggravating, if that makes any sense. It was just awful. The whole episode was insanely cheesy, especially the end. I think overall I'd give Sick Girl a 2 out of 5. Definitely not my fave MOH episode. I won't be watching this episode again, even if you paid me. Now that that’s over with, how about you stop by and see what Zombie Zane is up to. I hear he blogs wearing nothing but a smile!!! Thanks for stopping by and as always, check back next week for all new stuff here at Dead End Horror.
