This update of the classic ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’ is actually quite good popcorn fun.
When a doctor and his family move to an army base whilst he conducts tests, they uncover an invasion by unknown beings that take over your body whilst you sleep.
The film benefits from a great cast, a good score, and excellent lighting and camera work, but is a little let down by it’s slow pace.
There are some scenes that leave an impression and there is a good sense of atmosphere present, but it would appear that Warner Brothers got a little scissor happy here in order to keep this fun and quick.
OVERALL SUMMARY
A good update on a classic tale makes for good Friday night viewing.
