Review of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) by Eric Hynes for Rolling Stone — 14 May 1984
Easily among the greatest remakes ever made, Philip Kaufman updates Don Siegel's McCarthy-era classic to 1978 San Francisco. Kaufman proves singularly adept at keeping multiple genres and tones in play, from noirish mystery to heady paranormal thriller to face-squishing sci-fi horror.
There's truly no recovering from the film's final the enemy-is-us parting shot.
