Was this Hitoshi Iwaaki's inspiration?

Think this was the inspiration for Migi from Parasyte?

It's from a movie that came out in 1989 called 'Leviathan'. Kindof a mashup of Alien meets The Thing, meets The Abyss.

Idk, but it's interesting. I'm thinking of Miroku's wind tunnel power from InuYashi seeing this.
