When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The acting in this movie is really good.
Blistering performances.
This is the Third in a Series of Four Films from Jack Finney's Novel "The Body Snatchers" Written in the 1940's and Published in 1955. It First was Serialized in Collier's Magazine in 1954."Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) Directed by Don Siegel... "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978) Directed by Philip Kaufman... "Body Snatchers" (1993) Directed by Abel Ferrara... "The Invasion" (2007) Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel The First Three Versions all have Redeeming Value as Films and Social Commentary, although this one is Certainly Concerned almost Exclusively with the more Personal Horror of it all. Director Abel Ferrara, most known for Fringe Exploitation with Hard Edged Realism, gives this Sci-Fi Stalwart a Good Try with the Help of Horror Genre Participants Larry Cohen and Stuart Gordon.It's a Fittingly Creepy Affair with a Share of Chills and Shadowy Sullenness. A Few Scenes are Decidedly Unsettling with Ferrara Skirting the Edges to Disturb. But Overall the Movie seems a bit Rushed and its Short Running Time (88 Minutes) does not allow for much Suspenseful Buildup. A Good Cast all Contribute to make this a Watchable Remake and Despite a Tacked On "Explosive" Ending (the weakest element) it has a Following that Grows Every Year. Most Likely because of Cult Director Abel Ferrara. Note...The latest remake with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is virtually worthless and nowhere near as entertaining or artful as the other three telling. In fact it is borderline bad.
Chemist and his family move to a military base in Alabama to investigate the level of toxins in their water--could this pollution be the reason why the military personnel are exhibiting such odd behavior? "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with both a new milieu and environmental overtones, also a heavy emphasis on the grisly body duplications. The protagonist this time is the chemist's teenage daughter, who also provides an infrequent voice-over in the past tense. Director Abel Ferrara makes the attempt to slowly build suspense, however his morose, darkly-filmed opening (some 30 minutes in) backfires; tension doesn't so much mount as it does bide its time. Adaptation of Jack Finney's novel "The Body Snatchers" was worked on by several writers who provide lots of activity but no interesting people. Some effective and hair-raising moments, a good performance from Meg Tilly in a small role, but a fiery finale that falls flat. ** from ****
This film is not 100% garbage but it's not a good film - it's is bad though. The only thing I like about this film are 3 actors: Meg Tilly, Forest Whitaker and R. Lee Ermey - that's it. Nothing else good can be said about this movie coming from me.If you want to see a good "body snatchers" film watch the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) or even the 1978 remake which is pretty good - the original is the best.This 1993 film - I have nothing good to say about it. The first 45 minutes is mainly about a family moving into a new area and the "drama' between a teen daughter, her father and step-mother. This teen daughter gets a new friend and a boyfriend - wow just wow. I am not wanting to watch a teen drama I'm wanting to watch another remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and this remake basically sucks - minus 3 actors that I have already mentioned. I'm giving it 3 stars - one star for each actor because the movie is terrible.3/10
"Body Snatchers" is a good horror/thriller with excellent special effects. I can't speak as to whether or not it's a remake that stays faithful to the original, but my gut says that this Is a worthy adaptation. The ending isn't as strong as the scenes that precede it, but overall it's an enjoyable sci-fi paranoia film. The premise is basically that there's an alien invasion going on right before our eyes. The extra terrestrials wait until you fall asleep and when you do, you get sucked up Inside of a weird pod and replaced with a doppelganger. There's a lot of potential there and I bet you can already see why this premise has endured over the years. How do you know who you can trust, how are you going to convince the others that something is amiss and how are we supposed to win? I found that the picture takes a bit too long to set up. I understand that every plot point needs to be introduces thoroughly and all, but considering this is the third version of the film, and the material has been imitated and ripped off countless times, you probably already know where it's going in the beginning, and you'll grow restless waiting for everyone to catch up to you. Once it gets started there are a lot of tense parts that will keep you on your toes and some real surprises as friends and foes become indistinguishable from each other. The film really convincingly portrays the body snatchers and their pods and the special effects alone make the movie worth a watch, even though the very end of the film is anti-climactic and contains one very bad special effect that's embarrassing to see. There's a really chilling moment when you realize really how dire the situation Is that's permanently ingrained in my mind. Just thinking about it makes me uneasy, and no matter how many times it's made fun of, it still gives me the shivers. It's worth seeking out. (On DVD, November 6, 2012)
