Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Matthew Bennell assumes that when a friend complains of her husband's strange mood, it's a marital issue. But soon he discovers that the human race is being replaced one by one, with clones devoid of emotion.

Remakes of grand old films are to be discouraged, but director Philip Kaufman gets away with this one on style and verve.

All the tension and scariness of the original has gone and in its place is a bit of floppy old cabbage. See the Fifties version if you can.

[VIDEO ESSAY] Thematically, the film's allegory regarding viral-groupthink has plenty of wiggle-room for interpretation because it is so profoundly vague yet universal.

The 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers remains the best of the four adaptations, but this second take is similarly noteworthy and continues to grow in stature over the years.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers validates the entire concept of remakes.
August 13, 2016
A remarkable science fiction tale that still stuns, baffles, and chills.

Set at the intersection of post-Vietnam paranoia and the myopic introspection that became hippiedom's most lasting cultural contribution, the Philip Kaufman-directed Invasion alternates social commentary with impeccably crafted scares.

Gives remakes a good name.

Emotionally stirring, visually striking and having not aged a day, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" cries out for individuality in a skewed, nightmarish totalitarian reality. The results are as squirmily potent in 2016 as they no doubt were in 1978.

This film wants to have it both ways: to have a more urbane, more "important" scope than the original, and yet retain some of its inexpensive intimacy as well.

Ideas that Siegel knocked off in a few shots are expanded to fill entire sequences -- but they're good ideas, and can stand a little stretching.
October 17, 2016
It's interesting to observe how Kaufman and screenwriter W.D. Richter contrive to exploit and refine elements from both Finney's novel and Siegel's film in the new movie version, an unusually imaginative and adroit but also self-conscious remake.
