4.0 out of 5 stars Genuinely scary!, 24 Oct 2007
By Bezerus Bezby "Bez" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I first watched this film when I was about fourteen and have vivid, although somewhat cringy memories of re-enacting with my friend, the method which the alien body snatchers use to identify the real humans, i.e, pointing and screaming like a fog horn. Not my finest hour, but my point is, that this film left a lasting impression and watching it again recently made me realise how scary it really is.

You might well know the plot line, since there are so many re-makes, but to sum up: Family move to army base- soon people start acting strangely, or are taken away screaming into the night. The body snatchers are here and they want you!

One of the eeriest moments is when the female lead, Marty's younger brother does a picture at nursery and it becomes apparent that all the other children have already been body snatched, by the fact that they all draw the same creepy picture.

Marty is a solid lead character, as is her army boyfriend. It's not as good as the 1970s Donald Sutherland version, but it does stand up well in comparison.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Reviews!, 4 Sep 2007
The third official version of the film so far (though Kidman's effort has just been released in the US), updated to modern day and set in a US army base. Gone is the paranoia of the 70s version, replace by a gritty end of the century gloom. The whole film is set up for tension and the sense of being surrounded with little chance for escape. It is very short, adding to this quality and giving a sense of urgency few recent films have been able to match.

A family moves to a military camp as the father has to run some scientific tests in the area. His new wife and son come too along with his daughter Marti from a previous relationship, setting up an 'evil step-mum' dynamic. Marti is 17 and feels estranged from everyone, imprisoned, and believes she will soon be free of it all when she turns 18. Her father does his tests, under strict supervision from armed guards, her brother finds his new classmates and teacher to be a little odd, and she makes a few friends- the first being the daughter of the Base General, the other a soldier. Soon a plot to replace the human race with alien clones is uncovered. It becomes a race for the family and their friends to escape and warn the world, but who is human and who is not?

Ferarra creates a great deal of tension in a short time, and excellent performances from all, particularly Anwar and Tilly help to add to the fear. We do not know who to trust, and the film differs enough from previous versions to keep us guessing. Whitaker's performance is also very good, an accurate depiction of a soldier succumbing to sleep-depravation, paranoia, and the terror of being 'replaced'. Tilly's 'where you gonna go' scene is terrifying, and some of the effects are very effective. There is little humour, and few signs of emotion all adding to the idea that people may not be what they seem, though giving the film a very cold, bleak tone. We are left feeling that many people may already be emotionless, not caring for each other. A vastly underrated movie, almost as good as its predecessors.

The DVD is cheap, so it is a must-have for fans, but there isn't an extra feature to be found, so for this it misses out on 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars The invasion continues..., 4 Feb 2009
By Peter J. Hodgson "Grim" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Produced by the same guy that made the 70's remake of Invasion of the body snatchers. In this movie, the invasion continues and ends in a pretty downbeat way. This is a good movie there are neat gore gags and chase scenes to enjoy and the acting is top notch. However, it needs a 3rd in the series as this attempts nothing we havent see before. Personally I would like to see a scenario where the aliens have indeed taken the planet over and are experiencing emotions themselves!!! Of course there will be a few humans that have learned to blend in or are living deep underground. It would be nice to see a few aliens experience emotions and have a whole genocide tone to it.
