Larva

In the town of Host, Missouri, Dr. Eli Rudkus, a newly arrived veterinary scientist, is summoned by farmer Jacob Long to examine one of his cows. During the examination, Eli discovers a strange parasite in the animal and sends a sample to a friend at the Department of Agriculture for further analysis. Later, he finds the same parasite in a local creek and calls for a public meeting, warning that the source may be the animal feed. Fletcher Odermatt, the wealthy owner of Host Tender Meals, a company that has been supplying free animal food to local farmers, responds by bringing in his lawyer, Hayley Anderson, to challenge Eli's claims. When a massive mutant parasite attacks Eli and Jacob, they uncover the truth: the animal feed is an experimental genetic cocktail designed to grow parasites inside both cattle and humans.
