Featuring a stellar cast, including Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and a young Jeff Goldblum, this version turns up the suspense and paranoia to the extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A spore-like alien species descends on San Francisco during a rainstorm. Clinging to and then cross-breeding with plants, the aliens produce a strange, pod-like organism that blooms with a small red flower. Curious humans pick the flowers and take them home, unaware that the plant grows into a duplicate of the person closest to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elizabeth (Adams) and Matthew (Sutherland) work at the San Francisco Department of Health. When Elizabeth&#8217;s husband begins acting strangely, she tells Matthew that she believes that he literally isn&#8217;t himself. Initially skeptical, Matthew introduces Elizabeth to Dr. David Kibner (Nimoy,) a psychiatrist. But when their mutual friend, Jack (Goldblum,) discovers a half-formed pod-person after waking from a nap, Matthew begins to believe Elizabeth. The small group of friends have to figure out how to get others to believe them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director Philip Kaufman (<strong><em>The Right Stuff<\/em><\/strong>) and cinematographer Michael Chapman (<strong><em>Taxi Driver<\/em><\/strong>) create an increasingly claustrophobic atmosphere with numerous facial close-ups, distorted focus, and jarring camera angles. Screenwriter W.D. Richter (<a href=\"https:\/\/movieassault.com\/index.php\/2022\/10\/09\/dracula-1979\/\"><strong><em>Dracula<\/em><\/strong><\/a>) provides intelligent dialogue that sounds natural despite the unnatural scenario. The partially electronic score by jazz musician Denny Zeitlin punctuates the tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I especially enjoyed that the film takes the time to allow the audience to get to know the characters. We hear conversations that aren&#8217;t necessary to advance the plot as much as they are to flesh out the principal players. In today&#8217;s era of rapid-fire editing and non-existent attention spans, it&#8217;s nice to see a genre picture that doesn&#8217;t feel rushed yet never drags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The special effects &#8212; all of which are practical rather than digital &#8212; display the bizarre transformation of the pods into people. Their somewhat artificial look gives them an eerie, embryonic look. Paired with Ben Burtt&#8217;s gurgly sound effects, they&#8217;re pure nightmare fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been at least four film versions of the 1954 novel, &#8220;The Body Snatchers.&#8221; If you&#8217;re not going to watch the 1956 original, this is the one to see.<\/p>\n\n\n<span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star-half-stroke \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">4.5 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">4.5<\/span><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s era of rapid-fire editing and non-existent attention spans, it&#8217;s nice to see a genre picture that doesn&#8217;t feel rushed yet never drags.
