They're already here! You're next! With these chilling words, Invasion of the Body Snatchers sounded the clarion call to the dangers of conformity, paranoia and mass hysteria at the heart of 1950s American life. One of the greatest and most influential science fiction films ever made, Invasion stars Kevin McCarthy (Nightmare, Mirage) as Miles Bennell, a doctor in a small California town whose patients are becoming increasingly overwrought, accusing their loved ones of being emotionless imposters. They're right! Plant-like extraterrestrials have invaded Earth, taking possession of humans as they sleep and replicating them in giant seed pods. Convinced that a catastrophic pandemic is imminent, Bennell, in a terrifying race for his life, must warn the world of this deadly invasion of the pod people before it's too late! This is the original adaptation of Jack Finney's eerie tale, produced by Walter Wanger (Scarlet Street, Cleopatra) and directed by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry, Charley Varrick) in beautiful black-and-white Superscope. One of the mightiest cult classics of cinema is now scarier and timelier than ever! This special edition features the film in two aspect ratios, 2.00 1 and 1.85 1.

Director Philip Kaufman's great reworking of the 1956 sci-fi classic takes the action to San Francisco, as an onslaught of outer space pods replaces people with strange, zombie-like creatures. Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, and Veronica Cartwright portray a group of friends who catch on to the bizarre phenomenon and must find a way to stop it. Features cameo appearances by the original's Kevin McCarthy and director Don Siegel. 115 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set. Region Free
