Summary
"From acclaimed filmmaker Philip Kaufman comes this chilling '70s adaptation of Jack Finney's classic novel The Body Snatchers. Filmy spores fall from space over San Francisco, and the city blossoms with beautiful new flora. People take the flowers home and, as they sleep, the plants creep over them, devouring their bodies and stealing their identities--their emotions, their uniqueness, their souls. If you notice an eerie change in someone very close to you, chances are you're next! More than just a highly effective sci-fi thriller, Invasion of the Body Snatchers treats contemporary problems of urban paranoia and loss of individuality with intelligence and sensitivity... and ends with the single most horrifying frame in movies."--Container.
