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.

I'm guessing I would have liked this a little better had I seen it closer to its release date. Now I can't help but compare it to The Faculty, which I absolutely love, so it was a little dull to me.The effects are pretty decent, and the story is kind of cool, there are some cool elements here and there, but all in all I wasn't that impressed. But like I said, had I seen this in the early nineties, I would probably have been fascinated by the story. It's short, which is a good thing, and it's pretty bleak which I like. It does take a while for it to get going, and when it does, it doesn't go all that fast. It's not a nail biter. Yeah yeah, it's alright, but for the ultimate Alien-taking-over-human- bodies-movie, I'd definitely go with The Faculty. (which is based on the same premise, btw)

By its very definition this movie shouldn't be special. First, it resides in a genre that typically repeats itself over and over and over. Second, it is the second remake of a classic, in this case 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'. But unlike most horror remakes this one is different. It's actually scary.We know the story by now: Aliens are dropping to earth and killing off human beings and leaving soulless clones in their place. A young girl named Marti (Gabrielle Anwar) not only discovers their plot but finds that it has settled in her home. Naturally, no one will believe her.Now this seems like a lot of hum-drum hooey but director Abel Ferrara gives it a genuine style. He avoids the haggard clichés that often are the norm for this kind of film. He cleverly uses the rigid military as the alien's base of operations. There is something at risk in 'Body Snatchers': Our very humanity.Why did so many people miss out on 'Body Snatchers'? I guess they were so tuned into these clichés that they didn't recognize a horror film without them. This is a horror movie that is steeped in it's atmosphere, it's action and doesn't waste time with a lot of talking heads and theories. Its a strange concept . . . a horror movie this is actually scary!
