The six-part series is helmed by South Korean film-maker Yeon Sang-ho of Train To Busan (2016) fame.
Alien parasites rain down from the sky and start to seek out humans as host bodies. The parasite organisms creep into bodies via the ears, then take control of humans by eating their brains.
The protagonist is Jeong Su-in , a supermarket employee with a tragic past. After being brutally assaulted by a crazed stranger, she is left to die. A parasite enters her body, but due to her fatal wounds, the parasite has to heal her injuries before it can take over her body. In the process, the parasite does not have enough power to fully take over Su-in’s brain.
South Korean actress Jeon anchors the series with her flawless portrayal of the two main characters – her parasite is named Heidi, a nod to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Yeon’s zombie blockbuster Train To Busan set the bar high for South Korean horror flicks and fuelled his country’s appetite for horror, sci-fi and creature features. While his Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula sequel was not earth-shattering, he achieved a home run with his subsequent horror series Hellbound .
