The Thing gets amplified to apocalyptic levels in the teaser for Netflix's Parasyte: The Grey, a Korean sci-fi series about slug-like creatures taking over humanity.

Drawing inspiration from Hitoshi Iwaaki's massively popular Parasyte manga, the show follows Su-in (Jeon So-nee) as she struggles to survive among people who may or may not be under the control of an alien race. The show has been created by Train to Busan, JUNG_E and Hellbound director Yeon Sang-ho.

How to watch: Parasyte: The Grey is streaming on Netflix from April 5.
