INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)

Starring: Donald Sutherland
Brooke Adams
Leonard Nimoy
Jeff Goldblum
Veronica Cartwright


10/10


**MILD SPOILER**


FANTASTIC remake of the 1956 original. Director Philip Kaufman does an incredible job of conveying the intense paranoia amongst the characters. The acting is top-notch throughout. The special effects are pretty good. Denny Zeitlin's score is extremely creepy. And the ending is one of the most horrifying I've ever seen. Definitely a must see!

It's great. The film has one of the best endings in cinema. This film is a treasure to me.

Which remake are you referring to? They're both up to par, but Kaufman's version is immaculate.

Sorry I prefer the Ferrara's version, more atmospheric.
I like atmosphere, it is important for me.

What about the version that starred a very naked Gabrielle Anwar and a not so naked Forest Whitaker? I thought that movie was decent enough. I now hear there's another remake in the works due out either next year or the year after.

the 1978 one starring donald sutherland is a great movie, good acting in it that makes you feel like your a part of it.
But I think the 1956 one starring Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter is the better one.

I really like the 1978 remake and refer it to the rest of the films. The atmosphere is great and so are the characters. It has a true feel of things breaking down from the inside. Great film!

I never saw the original but Kevin McCarthy who was in the first one has a small part in the remake.

The original is among my favorite films (love that symbolism), and the remake (whichI thought I would detest) was a really enjoyable film, with great acting and plotlines. Not as good as the original, but among the best remakes.
