4.0 out of 5 stars A five - if you're watching for Christopher Walken.........., September 7, 2003

Not a great film - good ideas, but it should either have either been expanded or stripped down to a BBC TV play. Joss Ackland and Ronny Cox both give the expected quality performances as the misguided scientist and the terminal cancer patient who is given ecstasy (with a small e) as the way out of personality problems. But the reason you'll buy this DVD is the young Christopher Walken. ... Combine this performance with that in the Anderson Tapes and it is easy to see why he could have been up for Han Solo or the lead in Love Story. Charisma, intelligence, phwoaar and acting ability. He makes it all look so easy.........

Mind Snatchers is a decent movie.

This will be completely spoiler free.

Basically, Walken plays a really mean and angry person who is taken to a hospital for others with mental issues. He's diagnosed with some sort of condition unto which he is so aggressive. But, given he's such an angry man, he begins to prod into the hospital's background. He makes certain alliances, certain people help him, they even compromise with him, but his tenacious demeanor gets him deeper into our plot.

Overall, there's some good suspense and nail biting moments when you're holding back from screaming 'COME ON, CHRIS!' but mind you this is an old film. If you can't look past the mediocre cinematography, sound feedback and a bit of cheesy supporting acting- don't watch. But, if your view is open to such, enjoy the film.

This review is from: The Mind Snatchers (DVD)

My interest in this movie stems from my fascination w/ mind control, government conspiracy, and mad science / experiments gone wrong. Though all of these elements are present, THE MIND SNATCHERS is just too long and slow. This would have made an excellent 20-30 min. short, or anthology segment. As it is, TMS has a bloated mid-section, sandwiched between a decent beginning and a perfectly downbeat ending. Christopher Walken (THE DEAD ZONE, THE PROPHECY) plays the violent, angry Reese w/ his typical ease and un-forced oddness. Ronny Cox (DELIVERANCE, THE BEAST WITHIN, ROBOCOP) is also good as Reese's unhinged, hillbilly roommate. Shaved down, this could have been a classic...
