Editorial Reviews

Something evil has taken possession of the small town of Santa Mira, California. Hysterical people accuse their loved ones of being emotionless imposters; of not being them selves. At first, Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) tries to convince them they're wrong ...but they're not. Plant-like extraterrestrials have invaded Earth, replicating the villagers in giant seed "pods" and taking pose ssion of their souls while they sleep. Soon the entire town is overwhelmed by the inhuman horror, but it won't stop there. In a te rrifying race for his life, Dr. Bennell escapes to warn the world of the deadly invasion of the pod people! Remade in both 1978 and 1997, this chillign combination of extraterrestrial terror and anti-conformity paranoia is considered one of the great cult classic s of hte genre!

Classic Science Fiction

ByEric Sanberon August 15, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

There were two remakes of this film but, for my dollar, this is still the best.

Here's the scoop. Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) returns to to his practice in Santa Mira after being away at a conference. Something is afoot. People are saying that close friends and family they've known forever are not their friends and family. A backlog of patient appointments dries up and he's left scratching his head. He runs into an old flame (Dana Wynter) and, as the two try to rekindle their relationships, other odd things begin to happen that get them to realize something very serious is going on.

This film sports a very efficient script by Daniel Mainwaring as well as direction from veteran Don Siegel. The questions are laid out very early on and the clues build to a startling conclusion which then segues into the pair trying to figure out how to both escape the problem as well as raise the warning. This all builds to a frightening and feverish pitch. What starts out slow and easy on soft sunny days speeds up and turns dark with sharp, ugly shadows.

Some say this was made as a warning against Communism. Some say it's a warning to any society to not become to homogeneous. I suppose arguments can be made either way. But, social commentary aside, this is a wild ride. It is also said that the end was shot after the fact to calm people and let them know that our government has our best interests in mind. I don't know if that's true but, given the opening scene, I'm not buying it. It works too well.

This is right up there with the best science fiction films of that era. If you're a fan, have at it.

BEWARE THE GIANT SEED PODS!

ByGregory Laxeron February 6, 2016

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

I purchased the Blu-ray in time to screen it Feb. 5, 2016, the 60th anniversary of its theatrical release (to extent imdb can be trusted for accuracy). The print is in very good condition and nicely transferred. True, no Bonus Material, but that's Olive Films' template. Get used to it, folks. With Don Siegel at the helm, this is a taut 80-minute story with no padding. The alien seed pods are a great effect, a great example of economy, though they don't look cheap, and we see them by the truckload. This was maybe the third time I've seen this movie in my life and I confess I still don't know if it was meant as a metaphor for "the evils of communism" or the evils of the pressure to conform. Or perhaps neither? Remember, these alien life forms appear to be closely related to what we call plant life. Now think back to another exemplar of doing a lot with minimal special effects, from five years earlier: "The Thing From Another World." There we had a team of scientists to inform the viewer that the human race was definitely being pitted against "some kind of superhuman carrot" (in the words of the delightful news reporter, 'Scotty'). And the uninvited alien visitor was described by the admiring 'Dr. Carrington' as unhindered by human weaknesses like emotions, and this was a factor in its being deemed a superior life form. Just as the duplicated humans are described in the movie here under review. Likewise I call your attention to 1953's "Invaders From Mars," in which people also undergo personality changes after coming under the control of the alien invaders. So the main theme of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" was not altogether original, we find. But the film is very well executed and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by this fan of Classic Sci-Fi. Last time I submitted a review which cited other movies in my discussion, Amazon declined to publish it. Let's see what happens with this one!

Film transfer much improved over DVD version but no extras a minor flaw

ByD. Bobzienon February 20, 2013

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Perhaps the finest science fiction film released during the golden era of the genre is finally given a decent and much improved transfer over the DVD release some 10 years ago. There is no mistake that the original version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers remains the most potent depiction of 1950's paranoia with one of the most chilling presentations the loss of identity theme ever committed to celluloid. This film also marked the beginning of Science Fiction Film Noir and remains the finest of the four filmed versions of Jack Finney's celebrated novel. For such a landmark in the science fiction film genre, it is a pity that there are no extras. The film deserves a 5 star rating and this Blu Ray transfer is probably as good as it will ever get - a vast improvement over the previous DVD release but it deserves extras worthy of this masterwork.
