Parasyte: The Grey
The Iwaaki manga relocated to Korea, running alongside the Japanese continuity rather than remaking it.
Parasyte: The Grey opens with a main title sequence of 37 seconds.
At 37 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for horror sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Netflix in 2024, when Big Mouth, Cobra Kai and Elite were also on the network.
