"maybe he's become a republican"
KYKAug 16, 2013The thing Brooke Adams does with her eyes in this movie might be my favorite thing anyone has done in any movie.
AWSAug 4, 2020Extremely bad beat when my wife compared me to a pod person stoically going about their day.

Ultimately a movie about turning thirty and watching helplessly as -one by one- your friends stop being cool. I can say it. I'm 33. I've been body snatched. It's okay, actually. Really liked that the score gets quieter and quieter and more and more ominous until the dog…

"Don't be trapped by old concepts Matthew..." Masterful update that relocates the fear of losing one's identity and humanity from the Cold War paranoia about Communism and conformity in Don Siegel's original to a New Age-y, EST, and self improvement obsessed San…

KarstenOct 31, 2015One of my favorite movies. As a thriller, it's basically perfect, masterfully building dread over its first hour, before sending its richly-developed characters on the run and turning all of San Francisco into a hostile organism. But I also remain in awe of how well the…

busssssssssss 11/10
Jim Greysen lovedInvasion of the Body SnatchersThis is a 70s sci-fi horror film that holds up. This was in the transition before big names like Goldblum hit it big with The Fly (another classic remake) and Leonard Nimoy became Spock in the Star Trek motion picture franchise. The concept holds up great from the 50s original
Erika Leigh Kuhl likedInvasion of the Body SnatchersThe cinematography is incredible. Seriously some of the frames are break-taking and the camera work is fantastic. The first two thirds are captivating unfortunately the last thirty minutes feel rushed and less focused. Donald Sutherland and Veronica Cartwright are perfect.

The 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a pleasant surprise, featuring strong performances, logical character choices, effective special effects, an eerie soundtrack, & captivating cinematography, all showcasing the writers' attention to detail in the story.
Jacob Hall lovedInvasion of the Body Snatchersim super petty so continuity errors bother me alot, but besides that, this film is great and is terrifying. i feel they couldve made a sequel to this and have Nancy as this badass body snatcher slayer, and then have her find out where the remaining humans are hiding.
Nick Dubberly is "meh" onInvasion of the Body SnatchersI’ve been wanting to see this film for a while now, I just wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy it since the big “twist” ending had already been spoiled for me a while back. Turns out it made a big difference since all I was doing was waiting for it to happen.

Man they really sowed the seeds of discord am I right? *flips through note cards* I’m glad I planted myself down to watch this movie! *flips through notecards* Where did all this odd behavior stem from? *crumbles up notecards and throws them in the garbage*
Platypus Lord likedInvasion of the Body SnatchersVery unique, harrowing take on aliens. Enjoyable cinematography and editing, and effective sound design. Excellent performances. Very well done, a masterclass in paranoia and sci-fi horror, I guess I can't give it a ❤ because it's a very bleak ending.
Red Ruby lovedInvasion of the Body SnatchersA rare remake that obliterates the original. Goldblum’s offbeat magnetism shines. The car door moment? Hilariously eerie. The world’s mad, not her. Health inspector power is wild. That slap?? The Dog?? lol . And Matthew… nooo 😔 a tragic loss.

Metacritic
The screenplay, by W. D. Richter, remains bright and lively throughout, but the plot just isn't full enough to carry a feature film. The characters are vivid, and uniformly well-played, and their pre-pod lives are fairly well established. But an hour into the film, once the menace is identified, the few remaining humans begin fleeing for their lives, and after that it's just run, run, run.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
One of the subtlest and most extraordinarily fluid of American horror films, Kaufman crafts textured scenes, rich in emotional and object-centric tactility, that cause our heads to casually spin with expectation and dread.
