Even though this was filmed quite a while ago, it picked up on issues that are still issues today. Concern for the environment, teenage angst combined with feelings of alienation.
I think this film is just as entertaining as when it first came out - the casting was great and the performances most excellent.
A great watch for any horror fan.

I loved both the '56 and '78 versions of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. The paranoia factor is high in both movies, adding to the ultimate dread of such an alien invasion. In BODY SNATCHERS, the alien conspiracy takes place on an army base, where it can barely be noticed. After all, lack of emotion, group-think, and "following the leader" are pretty much standard military protocol. Marti (Gabrielle Anwar) is a typical bored teenager, brought along by her EPA scientist dad to investigate toxic waste at the base. As things grow increasingly bizarre around her, Marti must fight to keep her sanity, her identity, and her life. Meg Tilly (Psycho 2) is at first goofy, then blankly evil as Carol, Marti's replicated stepmum. Forest Whitaker (Species) is overrought in his role as the army captain who tries to stay awake long enough to defeat the invaders. R. Lee Ermey (The Frighteners) is General Pratt, the head of more than just an army installation! BODY SNATCHERS is fittingly eerie, with that atmosphere of certain doom that I like so much! This should send folks hurrying to check under their beds for those pesky pods...

Well done scary movie which was a modern remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Though the older version 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' will always have a special place in my movie going memory, this re-make was awesome! Hollywood has come a long way with special effects, so the new horror film has an added realism that's delightful (and a great diet aide). They went a lot further this time in raising my blood pressure and increasing heart palpatations. I must also say that Meg Tilly played her part to the hilt! If they give some sort of Oscar for horror flicks, she has my vote. Just excellent! For younger horror buffs who don't know what 'Pod People' are, this is a must see (or they can visit my town, we have a few). For the older folks who dearly loved the original, don't despair. This is a wonderful new version that can stand on its own and doesn't sully the spark of the former 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' we dearly loved.
