More relevant to a modern audience than the 56 version, but can't be credited with the same influence as its predecessor. Social commentary became a bit heavy handed, but the same could be said for the original. If you like this type of film give it a try, otherwise may be not worth it. Nice ending though.

I'm usually not big on older movies or sci-fi/thrillers, but this was decent.

Surpasses the original in tension and bad hair. Some pretty shocking stuff for a PG rating but, hey, it's the 70's.

Greatest cameo ever by Robert Duvall.

The pacing is a bit off sometimes and the tension varies wildly, but the sense of isolation and wrongness is quite effective. Having Nimoy in here was a nice surprise.

Not to give anything away, but the ending is what really makes this able to muscle past the camp and make it into "really good movie" status. That, and that incredible scene with Amazing Grace playing on the bagpipes. The bagpipes have never been used to such astonishing effect.

Nearly 2 hours of unrelenting paranoia -- my kind of film! And a beautifully dissonant, unsettling soundtrack to match. And Veronica Cartwright! Screaming! What more could you want? A truly brilliant science fiction, rooted in the deepest of human fears.

Probably the best version of Body Snatchers. Very Creepy.

The 70s vibe is strong, occasionally to the film's detriment, but for the most part the tension holds up supremely well. The increasing sense of isolation and despair is really well executed and that ending brings it home.

A really terrific horror movie. One of the best.
