Description: “Venom” (2018) is a film that tells the story of Eddie Brock, an investigative journalist who becomes the host of an alien symbiote. The narrative begins when a space probe from the bio-engineering company Life Foundation discovers a comet covered in symbiotic lifeforms. The probe returns to Earth with four samples, but one escapes, causing the ship to crash in Malaysia. The Life Foundation recovers the remaining three symbiotes and takes them to their research facility in San Francisco. There, they discover that the symbiotes need oxygen-breathing hosts to survive, but the hosts often reject the symbiosis, leading to fatal consequences.
Eddie Brock learns about the unethical human trials conducted by the Life Foundation after reading a classified document belonging to his fiancée, Anne Weying, an attorney working on the company’s defense. Brock confronts Life Foundation CEO Carlton Drake, resulting in both Brock and Weying losing their jobs. This also leads to the end of their relationship.
Six months later, Drake’s symbiote experiments become more successful, though one symbiote dies due to negligence. Brock is approached by Dora Skirth, a scientist who disagrees with Drake’s methods and wants to expose him. She helps Brock infiltrate the research facility, where he discovers that a homeless woman he knows, Maria, is one of the test subjects. During the rescue attempt, the symbiote possessing Maria transfers to Brock’s body, leaving Maria dead. Brock begins experiencing strange symptoms and seeks help from Weying and her new boyfriend, Dr. Dan Lewis, who identifies the symbiote.
Meanwhile, Drake exposes Skirth to the remaining captive symbiote, killing both. This leaves Brock as the only known host of a surviving symbiote. Drake sends mercenaries to retrieve the symbiote, but it manifests as a monstrous creature named Venom, protecting Brock from the attackers. Venom reveals that the comet aims to find planets where the symbiotes can possess and consume their inhabitants.
