Question
The movie I can't remember the title of dealt with a 20 something male who ends up having a parasite or alien living in his head. It looks sort of like a worm when it comes out. I saw it once and the title completely has left me.Any idea? Thanks.

Answer
Hi Blake,

The movie you are looking for is called "Brain Damage" from 1988. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"A normal, average guy who lives in New York City becomes dependent on an evil, disembodied brain. The brain feeds the guy a narcotic substance in exchange for his unwilling assistance in obtaining the brains of innocent victims for sustenance. This turns into a tour of circa-1980s underground NYC clubs, backlots, and other seedy locations."
