Movie Reviews of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Better Than The 1956 Original
Summary: 5 Stars
There are few times,I have actually liked A remake better than the original;this is absolutely one of those times.As much as I loved the original,4 star film,I think this,5 star, film is better.Better in the sense,it is more terrifying,there is more suspense,and At times this film seems like A non-stop thrill ride.Plus,unlike the original,the entire cast,not just the lead star,is superb.Donald Sutherland is great as The curious Health inspector,and Brooke Adams is equally wonderful as Sutherland's assistant,and eventually love interest.Jeff Goldblum is humurous,as An annoyed novelist.And the underrated Veronica Cartwright,is great as usual,as Goldblum's wife;A health Spa owner.But to me,The Scene stealer,is Leonard"MR.SPOCK"Nimoy as A celebrated Psychatrist.Nimoy plays the character so middle of the road ,you can't tell from the beginning,if he is human or A reproduction.Great effects,genuine suspense,acute paranoia,pure terror,and An unforgetable scene with A bizarre looking dog;make this 5 star remake A classic.This film is definitely better than the original. Avoid 1994's"Body Snatchers"and 2007's"The Invasion",they are nowhere near as good,as this excellent remake.5 Stars,highly recommended for fans of sci/fi,and or horror films.
Summary of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Collector's Edition)
When filmy spores fall from space and take root in San Francisco, the city is beautifully transformed by spectacular and exotic flowers. But these lovely extraterrestrial blossoms have gruesome plansfor their earthly admirers: to slowly clone their bodiesand then dispose of the originals! "A first-rate suspense thriller" (Newsday), this sci-fi adventure is a "chilling" (Leonard Maltin), "dazzling" (The New York Times) and "stunning" (Cosmopolitan) thrill ride that will send your pulse rate soaring! From a brilliant screenplay by Academy Award?(r) nominee* W.D. Richter, filmmaker Philip Kaufman directs an all-star cast that includes Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Brooke Adams and Leonard Nimoy. With its mesmerizing style and awe-inspiring special effects, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is "a classic of the genre" (New York Post) a terrifying tale that "literally chills the blood" (The Hollywood Reporter)!Jack Finney's classic science fiction novel has been the basis of three big-screen adaptations, beginning with the 1956 chiller Invasion of the Body Snatchers and most recently as 1994's underrated Body Snatchers. This acclaimed 1978 version from director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff) is every bit as creepy as the '56 original, and it fits perfectly into the cycle of paranoid thrillers that thrived in American movies of the 1970s. Kaufman stylishly directs from an intelligent screenplay by W.D. Richter, while Donald Sutherland and Brooke Adams lead a distinguished cast (including Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, and Veronica Cartwright) and must fight for survival as the population of San Francisco is systematically cloned by alien "pods" from a distant, dying planet. The atmosphere of dread and paranoia grows increasingly intense as the complexity of the alien invasion is gradually revealed, until nobody can be trusted to be who they appear. Finely tuned performances enhance the film's eerie atmosphere, highlighted by moments that will lurk in your memory long after the movie's over. MGM's DVD release includes a full-length audio commentary by Kaufman, a "pod culture" retrospective, Body Snatchers trivia, production notes, and the original theatrical trailer. --Jeff Shannon
