Storyline:
They look like us... They live inside us... And they’re evolving.
In Parasyte: The Grey, Earth is under silent siege. Unidentified parasitic organisms have arrived—burrowing into human brains, taking over their bodies, and erasing their hosts from the inside. These creatures mimic humans with chilling precision, hiding in plain sight… until it’s time to kill.
As the threat grows, a covert human task force known as The Grey Team is formed to detect and destroy the infected. Among them is Jeong Su-in, a young woman who survives a partial infection—sharing her body and mind with a parasite that failed to consume her.
Now caught between worlds, Su-in becomes both a weapon and a target, key to understanding the alien invasion. But the more the parasites evolve, the harder it becomes to know who's still human—and who's already been lost.
Dark, bloody, and emotionally charged, Parasyte: The Grey reimagines the cult manga in a Korean setting, blending body horror, identity crisis, and pulse-pounding action into a visceral battle for survival.
