Yeah, the original is a great example of a film that seizes on the fear of communist infiltration in the US - since it came out in 1956, it was the perfect horror film for the McCarthy era. Does the remake in 1978 have any political angle?REPO Man wrote:I've seen the original, but not the '78 remake.Pulsar_t wrote:Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is simply brilliant!

I should really pick them up and see them.
Last movie I watched was "Julie & Julia."
Chick-flick without a doubt... That's what happens when your woman picks movies.
