“Invasion of the Body
Snatchers” is a Sci-Fi Horror, screenplay written by W.D. Richter from the novel by Jack Finney
and Directed by Philip Kaufman.
When strange seeds drift to earth from space on the city of San Fransisco Matthew
Bennell (Donald Sutherland) finds that
several of his friends appear to be suffering some kind of paranoid delusion as
they believe
their friends or loved ones
are doppelgangers.
The
whole thing seems unlikely as the duplicates are able to answer detailed
questions about their lives and then when their accusers questioned later, they
themselves seem changed and laugh off their previous accusations with lame
excuses.
However, after discovering mysterious pods growing
and witnessing an attempted
“replacement” he realises that he and his friends, Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke
Adams), Jack Bellicec (Jeff Goldblum), Nancy Bellicec (Veronica Cartwright) and Dr. David Kibner (Leonard
Nimoy) must escape or suffer
the same fate as the invaders increase in number.
The
only problem is they don’t know for sure who has already been snatched, so they
don’t know who they can trust.
A credible remake of the 1956 original which gives cameo to Kevin McCarthy and Don Siegel, but if that’s not enough of a reason to watch it then its worth watching just for the scene with Brooke Adams and her eyeball trick.
