Invasion Of The Body Snatchers Limited Edition Blu-Ray
When health care worker Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) notices that her lover has become strangely distant, this sets in motion a series of shocking discoveries that force both her and her colleague Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) to flee for their lives to the sound of bloodcurdling screams from aliens.
Remakes of fantastic films are usually impossible, but Philip Kaufman's brilliant update of the 1956 classic is a rare and memorable exception. By setting the action in San Francisco, Kaufman is able to retain all the suspense of Jack Finney's original story while adding a biting social commentary on the selfishness of the 1970s "me generation," which is still all too relevant today. But first and foremost, it is a paranoid thriller based on one of the most psychologically terrifying premises of all - what happens when you can no longer trust not only the authorities but also your closest and dearest?
