Part horror movie, part medical detective story, "Monsters Inside Me" depicts what happens when people fall prey to an infection from a parasite, those nasty microscopic creatures found in water, soil and even in the air. Victims' stories are retold, including how doctors and scientists attempt to unravel each case before it's too late. Biologist Dan Riskin, assisted by doctors and other authorities who are familiar with each story, leads the scientific discussion about the parasites.

In a nice touch, after each parasite has been painstakingly identified, its life cycle is quickly and chillingly illustrated. Go to Full Review Anne Louise Bannon Common Sense Media 02/20/2020
3/5
There's also some good information here, and while the narration is somewhat hyped up -- in one case, for instance, a parasite is described as eating a child's brain from the inside out -- it's not repeated endlessly. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
