Jeff Goldbum doesn't have a chance to steal the show because the decision to put Robert Duvall on a swing dressed as a priest will never leave your mind. Also...Spock.

Unlike most remakes, this one attempts to update the source's thematic ideas. While the original confronted 50's social conformity, this one tries to tackle its era's counterculture psychology and post-Watergate paranoia. But the melodrama/romance subplot isn't that strong. And the production quality isn't as good as Siegel's due to distracting visuals, off-kilter acting, and average mood music. Marginal recommendation for sci-fi/horror fans who can't see themselves watching the 1958 version.

Creepy, tense, atmospheric and unsettling. A fine attempt at delivering on the promise of the (similarly good) original, with strong direction and characterisation; the endearingly oddball cast really works well, Sutherland in particular proving very watchable. I really liked the unusual and inventive score as well. The 70s San Fran setting is effective, and there are lots of hints in the background and around the edges as to what is going on. And that ending...

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.

A deeply disturbing, dark portrayel of the inevitable. The smothering atmosphere that drapes itself over the entire movie is what makes it outstanding. The direction is outstanding in its creation of that paranoid atmosphere. The acting is outstanding in parts, and mediocre in others. The two leads never falter though. It should be more widely praised than it currently is.

Despite a few problems I had with the movie's tenuous hold on its own internal logic, there's a lot to love about this one, from the practical effects to the pacing and direction of the movie's first 1/3, which does a fantastic job of building dread and paranoia in a believable way. Doesn't hurt to have Sutherland (great, as always), Goldblum and a game Brooke Adams on board. Gets a little repetitive in the final 1/3 with a series of samey chases but it's all worth it for the final shot.

Two things stopped me from watching this till now 1. I don't really believe in aliens 2. I'm not a huge fan of monster movies( l assumed this would be a monster movie) Much to my surprise it's intelligently written well thought out and acted out superbly by a fantastic cast Coolest visual effect is the dog being transformed with a alien head and dog body And I know I say this a lot but I honestly didn't see the ending coming at all

A superior remake which cleverly transplants the original story into a bustling modern metropolis, Kaufman's Body Snatchers is a tense and gripping sci-fi thriller that has aged exceptionally well. His control over the atmosphere is so exacting and complete that even slight disturbances in nature depicted in the opening scenes are chilling. Chapman's photography is eerily evocative and the sound design enhances the feelings of paranoia and dread with its intricate otherwordly textures.

A sci-fi/horror masterpiece, directed for maximum tension by Kaufman, and perfectly enacted by a well chosen cast on top of their game; Nimoy in a rare departure from Star Trek is the standout as the subtly malevolent doctor. Perfectly picks up on uneasy post-Watergate paranoia in 70s America and leads to a perfect, intriguing and uncompromising finale.

I haven't seen the original as of yet, I have seen The Invasion which this film is definitely better than, so I cannot comment on it's relation to that film. While I feel some aspects of the film are dated the vast majority is still holds up today. It really is a fantastic paranoid and tense sci-fi thriller with a relatively small cast for the majority of the film. Well worth seeing.

Surprisingly creepy, but dim-witted in some places. Why does it take them so long to figure out what's going on? Why is Donald Sutherland's default reaction to any situation "call the police", even though they are totally unhelpful every single time?

This is an incredibly good film. Subtle in so many ways, it examines questions of what it means to be human, whether survival really is enough, and whether or not the pod people are correct. Brilliantly acted. Veronica Cartwright is amazing, and D...(read more)onald Sutherland and Brook Adams have some of the best on-screen chemistry I've ever seen. Leonard Nimoy is also fantastic in a major departure from his normal roles. In short, this is a severely underrated film.

We are at the verge of the great neoliberal transformation into surveillance, governmentally, and societies of control. The last men turn into zombies while "healthcare" people are not listened and we have individualized psychotherapy replacing public welfare for citizens, which serves the denial of the spread of body snatchers. Only the aspiring artist and the protagonists resist that force as everything gets reified and sucked by the capital. Could easily be one of Romero's zombie flicks.

How can I complain about a film that lives up to its title? It was an invasion alright, and boy, they sure snatched those bodies. One of my favourite genres is paranoid 70s films. Mix that in with some sci-fi horror! Oh, baby.

One of those movies where I can't help but channel my inner Immortan Joe and just yell "MEDIOCRE!" at the screen. Had high expectations for this but sadly didn't amount to anything more than its premise and thus quickly overstayed its welcome. Would've been far more intriguing and suspenseful had the film unfolded its mysteries in a more timely and satisfying way. The ending is cool on a superficial level, but loses impact the more you reflect on it.

Call me stupid, but until today I just assumed Jeff Goldblum physically manifested in 1993 on the set of Jurassic Park. Come to think of it, doesn't the Jeff Goldblum we know today act a lot like a Pod Person? ... Oh nooooo.

The direction and the soundtrack work so great together for the monumental sense of paranoia. Especially liked the scene where Sutherland is trying to call someone, anyone in the government and the calls are layered as he gets the run around and you see him from phone to phone in desperation getting nowhere while the sound just gets more and more intense. The pod people are great, as in the original, keeping them from being snarling killers makes it so much creepier.

This was well-acted and made very well. The 70s/80s were definitely the golden age for horror, and this film mostly continues that tradition, but falls slightly flat somewhere in its execution. It is very gripping and super intense, but I felt like the pacing was a little off at points, and the body horror in this hasn't aged very well unfortunately. Jeff Goldblum is a sweet angel though and I love him, he was too cute in this.

Well, it was a very character-driven story. There isn't a lot of explanation about the Body Snatchers' motives and methods, aside from what the main characters are able to figure out for themselves. And basically, once all the main characters are accounted for, the movie is over. To be fair, it was pretty good at being a character-driven story, but it would have been nice if it could also have had a more thoroughly explored plot outside of that realm.

Deceptively funny and deserving of comparison with Rosemary's Baby. The thoughtful update of setting alone, to a menacingly groovy, selfish yuppie infested San Francisco (which looks weird as hell at night) is amazing enough.

A good film with moments of greatness (the hatching scene,) but held back by an inconsistent script, acting and silliness. Still, that ending is one of the best I've ever seen. A shame that it's so prominent in general media.

There are some issues with the film, pacing, script is abrupt at times & loose in others, some shots linger long & suspense-less. But there is a quite adventurous/exotic sound mix going on. I'm glad they took the time to try and paint the world in which this fungal plague is occurring. There's a lot for the audience to piece together themselves however. With all that said, the entire film seems like a lengthy set-up for the final shot, worth it though. Great choice on the silent end titles too.

A prime example of a remake that greatly improves on a rather lousy original. The original did have that imaginative spark, but Kaufman's version adds what was sorely missing (in most sci-fi/horror films, really): a basic grasp of reality. Better writing and a fantastic cast are what makes the difference, but Kaufman's directorial mastery also helps.

A decent update, because the idea that a perfect world is a world with no human emotions was still fresh for New Hollywood filmmakers, and Kaufman understood that perfectly. I still prefer Ferrara's version, though, and I think the Duvall cameo and the thing that Brooke does with her eyes are more chilling than the whole thing.

What I dig the most about this is mainly the body horror and the premise about how an alien invasion occurs in this narrative. Here aliens are not overtly conquering people but doing so through bizarre mutations and it's really neat how they use this to stir constant paranoia, elevated by its earrape sound design. The movie does run into the issue of being plodding at certain points but it has so many cool scenes like the cocoon hatching and the ending scene that make it an undeniable classic.

One of the creepiest movies I’ve seen in a long while, if not ever. Kaufman’s directing is a work of pure genius, perfectly capturing that feeling that things are just slightly off, even when they look fine. It’s such an unsettling film. It also boasts some excellent practical effects and a lot of twists and turns that legitimately surprised me. It helps that the characters are likable and really well acted. An unpredictable, chilling film with scarily relevant themes. Highly recommended!

A slog. It doesn't even really make sense how the pod people thing works. Some people need pods to grow and it takes a long time. Other people are duplicated instantly...without any pods? I can't get through this film. The bunch of people we're supposed to care and identify with barely know each other. At least the original had small town close family and friends and a memorable finale.

Crafty late 70's update of the sci-fi classic, cleverly expanded and relocated from Anytown, USA to downtown San Francisco. All hard-to-swallow aspects are completely sold by Sutherland, who as always gives a completely convincing performance.

A solid cast giving solid performances, good practical effects, & effectively eerie atmosphere are all things this has going for it. Honestly, though, it just didn't wow me like it seems to wow almost everyone else. The characters are easy to root for, but they also aren't all that interesting & make tons of beyond questionable decisions for plot's sake. The third act seems to drag on forever, & the pure nihilism of the ending just isn't really for me, either. Still, it's a classic for a reason.

Its observation of how organically the alien life-forms spread (beginning from an excellent scene abstractly showing their departure from their home-world) is a horrific joy, as their slow spread conjures up a slow dread. This film does become a tad too standard in its second half, becoming just too adventurous and explosive, all the while keeping too tight-knit to convey a city-wide panic -- might've been better if set in a large town.

It dragged sometimes, but then other times it really hit the paranoia that the characters were experiencing. While I wouldn't say it was that scary, the ending was certainly horrifying; also unexpected even though I guess technically the aliens give it away a bit before. Good special effects, watching the aliens clone was gross, if this wasn't paced like it was then it would be much better... but even still it's pretty great.

Any movie that can get Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy in the same room together is sure to charm, and there are so many iconic moments that you can practically feel its influence on the next generations of sci-fi and horror. Sadly, though, it seems kind of shallow. It doesn't seem to lean at all into the social commentary of the original, and even the personal stakes of the movie feel somewhat flimsy. Solid entertainment, but its best ideas have been improved upon since.

What a phenomenal portrayal of paranoia and doubt. The acting by Sutherland and Adams is great, and then you also have a host of others that serve to give this B-movie idea an A-level cast of characters. The practical effects are great, but they are sparse enough to shock each time they flash onto the screen. This is remembered fondly but it should be held in higher regard as Kaufman's work captures an authentic fear that plagued the world during the cold war.

President Snow does speed in order to stay awake and not get turned into an alien. This is right up there with Ben-Hur (1959), The Fly (1986), and True Grit (2010) in the "best remakes ever" conversation. That shrieking thing the body snatchers do still sends chills down my spine, especially in that iconic ending.

So, so good. Among the most paranoid movies ever made; the atmosphere, thick with tension and dread, seeps its way into you. The entire film is delightfully unnerving, and the ending is downright brilliant. Just as good as, if not better than, the original. Perhaps the 70s grit gives this one a bit of an edge.

The McCarthyism allegory was never necessary to induce fear. It worked in the first place because assimilation and ostracization are a natural human phenomenon in any culture. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a good movie that avoids becoming a great one by ignoring the unique venues promised by its own concept. The tense hot seat scenes of suspicion and hysteria somehow don't exist, and for some reason the movie instead chooses to focus on the characters outrunning the aliens like monsters.

Pretty darn effective horror that hits the pedal to the floor pretty early on and never lets off the gas. Even though all the beats are telegraphed, it never takes away from it. The central, possible, romance is pretty forced and unnecessary but this is nothing new. The cast is great and there are a ton of excellent scenes at play. It may not be among the top tier of horror films from its day, but it's not too far off.

The story is classically simple: alien organisms infiltrate human bodies and create duplicates who are the same in every way--but without emotions. A health inspector (Donald Sutherland) soon finds himself, and all humanity, increasingly outnumbered. Philip Kaufman's direction builds a distinct sense of unease: shots often last a moment or two longer than you'd expect. It's not all that SCARY, per se (the horrifying final moments aside), but it's consistently engaging and well-acted all around.

Uneven but the last scene is highly disturbing. It really made me shiver.

totall stupid adaptation of the 1958 cult version...storyline is so slow and lacks suspense... and I have just realized that Jeff Goldblum is playing the same role for the last 30 years...

Inferior to the original in terms of atmosphere and sense of paranoia. Works better as a horror film than the its predecessor though.

I liked this one a bit more on the second viewing and would now call it a a successful update on the whole, but I still prefer the original, despite this having a stellar cast and being less campy. The first half is very good, but the second half lacks tension, despite some very effective moments.

This version does a good job expanding the story while adding more touches of horror. I find that the acting can be a bit off and I'm not a fan of the camera work but the ending was and always is great. I still prefer the original one because its better paced and just more fun to watch overall.

The acting is pretty good, Sutherland's character likable, but maybe a little bit too long. Very tense at times and Jesus Christ, the ending really frightened me
