'Alien: Earth' Fans Need To Revisit Netflix's 'Parasyte: The Grey'

For audiences needing more alien-like horror during the wait between Alien: Earthepisodes, Parasyte: The Grey is available on Netflix. While Alien: Earth takes place in the distant future of 2120 (and eerily leans into feeling possible), Parasyte: The Grey takes place in modern South Korea and goes even deeper into its horror elements. A South Korean spin-off of the Japanese manga Parasyte, it has a similar vibe to the Alien franchise with body horror aspects and otherworldly creatures taking over human bodies. It is dark, horrific, and immediately gripping. The parasites come to earth with one command for survival: take over the human brain or eat humans.
