Parasyte: The Grey Review | An Astounding Body Horror Series from Korea
Taking elements from the manga and anime, Parasyte: The Grey is another excellent live-action adaptation from Netflix.
The old Invasion of the Body Snatchers notion of aliens taking on human form and blending into society has been milked for decades, but it never really gets old; it's such a perfect foundation to explore a multitude of ideas. The original Invasion of the Body Snatchers was remade three times, with each version addressing different sociopolitical issues. The Thing and They Live are very different John Carpenter masterpieces with the same idea — aliens taking on human form. If done well, the old concept can still make for incredible viewing. And Parasyte: The Grey is done very well.
