Review of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) by Conner R — 16 Nov 2009
Such a great concept and this incarnation is definitely the best. Along with The Thing, it proved that not all remakes are bad. Sometimes they can outshine their predecessor. These remakes also gave fuel for the eventual Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween remakes.
The cast was outstanding and worked amazingly well together. Donald Sutherland's weird sense of humor complimented Jeff Goldblum's frantic behavior quite nicely. I also loved Brooke Adams, she's such an underrated actress.
The plot flows so well and is so dynamic, it's impossible to not get completely sucked in. The hysteria element is so powerfully frightening that there is no need for jumps or scares.
