Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

"There's no need for hate now. Or love..."

It's Manny's turn up on the film choice as the triumphant winner of last week's competition round, and having to pick a PG rated horror flick, he picked a stonker...

The 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a classic tale of paranoia and extra terrestrial threat, which follows a health inspector and his laboratory scientist friend as they begin to suspect that thier friends and loved ones are suddenly acting differently, apparently drained of their humanity and emotion. An investigation appears to unveil a silent takeover from something not of this world...

The gang get their teeth into one of the best remakes of all time, comparing it to the 1956 original, and bathing in all the ick, kitsch and grit that we so dearly love in movies of this era.
