Review of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) by Emily A — 02 Apr 2009
One cannot deny it: Veronica Cartwright is the queen of horror. She and the entire cast of this film are wonderful and really carry the weight of this film. I wish that it was a little quicker to get going but once it did it was relentless.
Jeff Goldblum's role was a little reminiscent of him in The Fly, but the dread of being surrounded by the enemy doesn't come trhough quicte as acutely as other imaginings of this film. The image of the open-mouthed, hissing/screeching pod person is indeed iconic and was ground-breaking, and you can see its influence in countless subsequent horror films.
