The original science fiction classic stars Kevin McCarthy as a doctor in a small California town who discovers that his patients are becoming agitated and blame their loved ones as detached impostors. Plant-like extra-terrestrials have invaded Earth, reproducing the residents in giant seed "pods" and taking control of their souls while they sleep. Grasping that the epidemic is out of control, in a terrifying race for his life, he uncovers one of the most shocking revelations in film history. If you want know about it, then see “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” along with the superior 1978 remake which would make a terrifying double feature.

This is one of the best science fiction movies of the 1950's. The high quality transfer on the blue ray dvd is fabulous.Director Don Siegel would have preferred to finish with nobody listening to the hero's terrified warnings. Nonetheless, generations have come to embrace this flawed film as a classic, reading in messages galore about the dangers of social conformity in the Cold War era. Some have claimed it's about McCarthyism (would they have made that dubious association if the leading man's last name were different?). Others insist it's about communism, and the attitude in 1950s America that enemy infiltrators, who look just like you and me, could take over by stealth. Overall, the movie is excellent, with great acting by McCarthy and great directing by Siegel.

I have always loved this 50's scifi film and make it "must view" at Halloween. The blu ray version is a nice improvement over the standard release and worth it to the highly dedicated fan of these classics. It served my purposes and also contained a nice documentary on scifi hx. I recommend this one only the die hard fans.....I got this one for a paltry $8 s/h included!!

This is one movie you're unlikely to forget. McCarthy was terrific and the story believable. All before digital special effects when the horror was more real.
