Step into the cursed, blood-soaked waters of the Andaman Sea, where forbidden desires and deadly secrets wait to drag you to the suffocating depths. The first official trailer has just dropped for Tropical Parasite, a hallucinatory “nu-mermaid” nightmare that violently crashes horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy together. Cult auteur Jared Masters—the twisted mind behind Slink—returns to unleash a sleazy, sun-baked descent into aquatic madness where beauty is the ultimate bait, and survival comes at a terrifying, flesh-crawling cost.
When a daring, morally bankrupt treasure hunter stumbles upon lost oceanic riches, his greed awakens something ancient and ravenous. He quickly finds himself ensnared in a lethal love spell cast by a hauntingly seductive water nymph and targeted by the relentless curse of a vicious sea gypsy. Plagued by a mysterious, rapidly spreading parasite that ravages its victims from the inside out, our anti-hero must navigate a treacherous underworld of exotic temptation, supernatural terror, and hallucinogenic obsession before the ocean swallows his soul forever.
Dripping with illicit, grindhouse-style sleaze and mesmerizing tropical danger, Tropical Parasite dares to explore the darkest corners of human lust and greed. Masters paints a fever-dream cinematic canvas where every shimmering coral reef hides a razor-sharp threat, and every stolen kiss could infect you with a deadly, mutating virus. It’s a wild, unapologetic ride filled with blood, gold, and mutated horrors that will leave you gasping for air and begging for more.
Brought to life by OHM Entertainment, the film features a captivating ensemble cast including Althea Lacson, Ryza Mae, Jared Masters, Hiber Jay Arroyo, Sherlyn Bel, Jonathan Villalino Jr., Jacky Vosotros, and Tata Ida Ayu. Produced by Lucas Wagner and Jeffrey Dean Gray, with a chilling atmospheric score by Seth Metoyer, Tropical Parasite is written and directed by Jared Masters, promising a raw, anamorphic widescreen experience that honors the golden age of exploitation cinema.
Some treasures are meant to stay buried, and some desires are fatal to the touch. Dive into the terrifying unknown and witness the madness for yourself—if you dare.
