Invasion of the Body Snatchers
May 19th 2023 05:23
Director: Don Siegel
Screenplay: Daniel Mainwaring (based on magazine serial by Jack Finney)
Production: USA
Year: 1956
Sub-genre tags: science-fiction, alien invasion, paranoia, political allegory
Tagline: Incredible! Invisible! Insatiable!
Logline: A small-town doctor discovers that the population of his community, and quite possibly the rest of the world, are being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates.
Core cast: Kevin McCarthy (Miles), Dana Wynter (Becky), Larry Gates (Dr. Kaufman), King Donovan ((Jack Belicec), Tom Fadden (Uncle Ira)
Memorable moment: Miles and Becky being chased by the townsfolk duplicates up into the hills where they hide in a cave.
Curious Facts: One of the very rare examples where two remakes (one released in 1978 directed by Philip Kaufman, and the other in 1993, as Body Snatchers, directed by Abel Ferrara) are actually very good. A third remake, as The Invasion and released in 2007, however, dropped the ball.
Intensity levels:
Blood & gore: low
Fear factor and/or frights: high
Likelihood of bad dreams (disturbing content): low
Horrorphile’s two cents: The cast is superb, especially the two leads Kevin McCarthy and stunning British beauty Dana Wynter ... The black and white widescreen cinematography by Ellsworth Fredericks is expertly handled and the score by Carmen Dragon is innovative and creepily effective. Also chilling is the pod special effects all cosmic detergent and pulsating bulbs.
