### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great film;  buy it, you won't be disappointed.
*by S***R on May 16, 2025*

A very, very good remake of a classic. In some ways, this one is better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great continuation on the pod people
*by T***E on April 17, 2025*

Awesome movie. I remember watching this on satellite once. Which was in the 90's. Hard to find on DVD. At my local retail stores. Definitely the best find on Amazon. Even got it new and factory sealed. But I think it would look way better on Blu-ray. As I opted for the DVD version. Great classic movie. "They get you when you sleep".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "When all things are conformed...there'll be no more disputes, no conflicts."
*by C***8 on September 28, 2005*

In a life filled with uncertainty, one thing is for sure...once Hollywood latches onto a good thing, it won't let it go...a prime example of this is Jack Finney's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" story, popularized by the 1956 Don Siegel sci-fi film classic featuring Kevin McCarthy. Since then, there have been any number of remakes or films based on the story, most popular probably being the 1978 version featuring Donald Sutherland, which I enjoyed, but not quite as much as the original...a few years later a group of writers, including Larry Cohen (It's Alive, The Stuff) and Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond) came up with the film Body Snatchers (1983), directed by Abel Ferrara (The Driller Killer, King of New York), and featuring Terry Kinney (Fly Away Home), Meg Tilly (Psycho II, The Big Chill), Gabrielle Anwar (Scent of a Woman), Billy Wirth (The Lost Boys), Forest Whitaker (Platoon), Christine Elise (Child's Play 2), and R. Lee Ermey (Full Metal Jacket)...by the way, before I forget, there's a film scheduled to be released in 2006 titled The Visiting, featuring Nicole Kidman...here's the synopsis from The Internet Movie Database...'As a Washington psychiatrist (Kidman) unearths the origin of an alien epidemic, she also discovers her son might be the only way it can be stopped.' Sound familiar? It should, if you've seen any of the previous `Snatcher' movies I've mentioned, proving that in Hollywood every thing old is new again...and again...and again...As the story begins, we meet the Malone family...there's Steve (Kinney), who's the father, Carol (Tilly), his wife, Steve's daughter Marti (Anwar), and her younger brother Andy...seems Steve's 1st wife, who was also Marti's mother, passed away a while back...anyway, the family is on the road, as Steve, a chemist, works for the EPA, and is touring military facilities in the south to ensure proper storage and handling of all the nasty biowarefare chemicals they claim they don't have. After Marti has a strange encounter in a gas station restroom (it wasn't with George Michael), the family arrives at the base and settles into their new quarters. Things seem normal enough, but strangeness settles in, as more and more people seem not actually to be living, but going through the motions. Now one might chalk this up to the military and its tendency to squash individuality in general, but it's something else, something more, something alien...and it has something to do with the slimy pods being pulled out of a nearby swamp during the night. Pretty soon the base is divided into two factions, normal people and spore people (the former dwindling rapidly) and the ominous serenity devolves into extreme chaos...just remember, they get you when you sleep...You know what? I enjoyed this movie...I also enjoyed the original release and the one from the late 70s. The main difference I noticed was that while the previous two tended to share many similarities (the main being the overwhelming sense of paranoia inherent within the story), this one kind of went off it its own direction, choosing horror and action over suspense, with focus given to Anwar as the lead character. Perhaps they were trying to appeal to a younger audience, I don't know, but the overall result was better than I would have thought. The budget may not have been large, but I think what they had they made good use of...at the very least the filmmakers knew enough to bring in a very solid cast who worked well together. I don't know that any one performer stood out above the others, but they felt professional and maintained a sense of belonging in the story. I did feel a few of the characters got slighted, especially the one played by Forest Whitaker, but oh well. There were a couple clichés running about, like General Platt's (Ermey) rebellious daughter, played by Ms. Elise and the handsome, hero chopper pilot with the perfect hair, played by Wirth, but their roles ended up being relatively minor in the overall scheme of things. Ferrara keeps things lively with some good shocks, despite the fact the action didn't really kick in until about 45 minutes into the story. The one gripe I would make, if any, is that the film ended too soon, running about 87 minutes. It felt like there was more story to be had by the end, but I suppose it's better not to out stay one's welcome. I thought the gooey effects were good, the spaghetti-like tendrils emanating from the pods especially creepy. The one scene that stands out in my mind is when Marti is taking a bath, and dozes off...oh looky there...someone stuck a pod above the ceiling tiles. Hey, something's moving...ewww, here come some creepy crawlers, searching for a host. You know, I don't think whoever put that pod up there had put much thought into placement, as even I would have know that once the pod started developing a replicant, the weight of said doppelganger would have been too much for those measly tiles to handle...but, it did provide for a nasty little sequence. And here's nekkid lowdown, if you're interested...Ms. Anwar does bare her teeny tots twice, the second time more so than the first. While enjoyable, I did feel a little uncomfortable specifically because her character was supposed to be not of drinking age, and let's face it, Anwar is the definitive waif. Even if her character was supposed to be eighteen, she still looked all of about fourteen (Anwar was about 23 at the time the movie was made). The movie also features what appears to be a full frontal nekkid shot of Ms. Tilly, but the credits reveal a body double was employed...oh well, boobage is boobage...there is one sequence that was particularly funny (to me, at least), near the end, featuring a boy and a helicopter. If you've seen the film, you know what I'm talking about...if not, well, I'm not going to say anymore than I already have...overall I thought this film an interesting mix of science fiction, horror, and action, and something along the lines of what a director like John Carpenter might put out, only much more toned down.This Warner Brother's DVD release features both the full and widescreen versions, the widescreen being 2.35:1 anamorphic, both looking very clear and sharp. The Dolby Surround 2.0 comes through very well. As far as special features, there are none, as the film starts playing immediately when inserted into the player. You can get an interactive menu screen to appear displaying scene access and language options, but nothing else.Cookieman108If you liked this film, I'd suggest another film called The Hidden (1987) featuring Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Nouri, and Claudia Christian and/or The Puppet Masters (1994), featuring Donald Sutherland, Eric Thal, and Julie Warner...both are underrated science fiction films worth seeing.
