Parasyte is such a popular comic that it sold over 25 million copies in 30 regions and counting. Now that comic is coming to life on Netflix in Parasyte: The Grey on April 5th.
The Korean movie reveals a world where unsuspecting individuals have been taken over by parasites. These parasites, intent on multiplying, control humans and mimic their behavior while posing a sinister threat. Amidst this looming situation, Kang-woo (Koo Kyo-hwan) is shown in the middle of his search for his missing sibling while hiding from a parasite hunting him. Led by Jun-kyung (Lee Jung-hyun), Team Grey engages in a dangerous battle with the parasites, showing what both sides are capable of in this war with no clear end in sight.
Heidi has the parasite living inside Su-in, raising a flurry of questions: How did Su-in become a “mutant” who doesn’t fully belong to either the human or parasite world? And, more importantly, whose side is she on?
I am usually not a fan of foreign or CGI-heavy films, but I can’t wait to see this one. The special effects draw you in, like the the ear draws in the Parasytes.
