Every since I got into watching films frequently I've discovered a taste for certain genres: one of my personal favorites being the midnight drive in B-movie films. Thus, it makes sense that the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers from 1956 is one of my favorite films in that area (not to mention one of my favorite films of all time). The way the story was told was gripping and suspenseful in ... read more

Far better than the original one AND than the book, it's a good mix of scifi and horror, with an incredibly tense soundtrack and original and appropriate directing.
Donald Sutherland is amazing, and all the others actors (except brooke adams >.

Description: The first remake of the paranoid infiltration classic moves the setting for the invasion from a small town to the city of San Fransisco and starts as Matthew Bennell notices that several of his friends are complaining that their close relatives are in some way different. When questioned later they themselves seem changed as they deny ... (more)

Top 10: Jeff Goldblum (19 movies items)

" The best Invasion film of them all! Goldblum plays one of a select few who get wise to the pod-aliens secret agenda/invasion and shares the screen here with the likes of Donald Sutherland and Leonard Nimoy. This film is one of the best sci-fi thrillers of all time."

Anatomy of the Remake (113 movies items)

"8 STARS vs 8 STARS vs 7 STARS vs 7 STARS vs 5 STARS Honestly, there was only one fail here and that was with Body Snatchers. It was, with all honesty, a piece of crap. The original was released in '56 and largely ignored by critics. In later years, it received it's due and eventually was chosen for preservation and hailed as one of the best films of it's year of release. The '78 version (with a much better cast and a better story and dialogue) surpassed it, was far more surreal and downrig"

"1/22/13 Rewatch My favorite of all the Invasion movies though I have enjoyed them all. For me it was the cast of this particular film that made it the most enjoyable...right down to the inclusion of Kevin McCarthy's cameo, he being the main star of the original."

" This movie's conclusion is a shocker that feels both daring and inevitable. The stylized last shot is so startling, it's burned into my memory forever as one of the most impressively audacious endings ever."
