Movie Reviews of Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Movie Review: Another Hardcore Classic!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this for the first time a few days ago with my dad. If you've read my reviews before, you'd know that I love the look of horror films that take place in the 50's. The town is Santa Mira, the same town HALLOWEEN III takes place in. People are changing into emotionless things in the town by some pods from outer space! Can Dr. Miles Bennell and his girlfriend, Becky stop the pod people from taking over? If you love classics, you'll love INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS!!!
Summary of Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 08/16/2005 Run time: 80 minutes Director: Don SiegelSomething's wrong in the town of Santa Mira, California. At first, Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) is unconcerned when the townsfolk accuse their loved ones of acting like emotionless imposters. But soon the evidence is overwhelming--Santa Mira has been invaded by alien "pods" that are capable of replicating humans and taking possession of their identities. It's up to McCarthy to spread the word of warning, battling the alien invasion at the risk of his own life. Considered one of the best science fiction films of the 1950s and '60s, this classic paranoid thriller was widely interpreted as a criticism of the McCarthy era (that's Senator Joseph, not actor Kevin), which was characterized by anticommunist witch-hunts and fear of the dreaded blacklist. Some hailed it as an attack on the oppressive power of government as Big Brother. However viewers interpret it, this original 1956 version of Invaders of the Body Snatchers (based on Jack Finney's serialized novel The Body Snatchers) remains a milestone movie in its genre, directed by Don Siegel with an inventive intensity that continues to pack an entertaining wallop. Look closely and you'll find future director Sam Peckinpah (an uncredited cowriter of this film) making a cameo appearance as a meter reader! --Jeff Shannon
