“You are good at pretending to be human.” Netflix has revealed the first look teaser trailer for another new Korean horror sci-fi thriller series titled Parasyte: The Grey, arriving for streaming in April this spring. When unidentified parasites violently take over human hosts and gain power, humanity must rise to combat the growing threat. Parasyte: The Grey draws inspiration from the acclaimed manga “Parasyte” written by Hitoshi Iwaaki, which sold over 25 million copies. Set in a new locale with fresh characters, the series charts its own unique course while maintaining the imaginative world & profound message of the beloved original manga. At the center of the story is Su-in, portrayed by Jeon So-nee, as she grapples with her newfound coexistence with a parasite. The series also tracks the efforts of “Team Grey,” a group dedicated to fighting mysterious parasites that live off humans. The series also stars Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, Kwon Hae-ho, Kim In-kwon, and others. This looks intense! Tons of action, lots of CGI parasite heads splitting apart and turning into gross tentacles. Totally crazy! So this might turn out pretty cool. Check it out below.
