Imitated, copied and revisited throughout the ages, Jack Finney's classic tale of alien invasion is an intense work of visceral horror. Adapted by W.D Richter (Big Trouble in Little China) and directed by Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff), Invasion of the Body Snatchers creeps under the skin to deliver a spine-tingling tale of unspeakable terror.As darkness falls and an unsuspecting city sleeps, an unseen alien life form begins to propagate. As more and more citizens of San Francisco devolve into drone-like shadows of their former selves, investigating Department of Health workers, Matthew (Donald Sutherland, The Hunger Games) and Elizabeth (Brooke Adams, TV's MONK) uncover the stark reality: mysterious pod-like structures are cloning and replacing the human population. With friends and colleagues fast falling prey to the pods and the invasion reaching crisis point, Matthew and Elizabeth struggle against the odds to in a desperate attempt to preserve the future of the human race.An infectious trip into a dark sci-fi nightmare, with startling political undertones, Invasion of the Body Snatchers also features Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek), Veronica Cartwright (Alien) and Jeff Goldblum (The Fly).
