In a life filled with uncertainty, one thing is for obvious…once Hollywood latches onto a grand thing, it won’t let it go…a prime example of this is Jack Finney’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” tale, popularized by the 1956 Don Siegel sci-fi film classic featuring Kevin McCarthy. Since then, there have been any number of remakes or films based on the chronicle, most current probably being the 1978 version featuring Donald Sutherland, which I enjoyed, but not quite as considerable as the current…a few years later a group of writers, including Larry Cohen (It’s Alive, The Stuff) and Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond) came up with the film Body Snatchers (1983), directed by Abel Ferrara (The Driller Killer, King of Unique York), and featuring Terry Kinney (Flit Away Home), Meg Tilly (Psycho II, The Great Chill), Gabrielle Anwar (Scent of a Woman), Billy Wirth (The Lost Boys), Forest Whitaker (Platoon), Christine Elise (Child’s Play 2), and R. Lee Ermey (Paunchy Metal Jacket) …by the scheme, before I forget, there’s a film scheduled to be released in 2006 titled The Visiting, featuring Nicole Kidman…here’s the synopsis from The Internet Movie Database…’As a Washington psychiatrist (Kidman) unearths the origin of an alien epidemic, she also discovers her son might be the only procedure it can be stopped.’ Sound familiar? It should, if you’ve seen any of the previous `Snatcher’ movies I’ve mentioned, proving that in Hollywood every thing ancient is modern again…and again…and again…

As the epic begins, we meet the Malone family…there’s Steve (Kinney), who’s the father, Carol (Tilly), his wife, Steve’s daughter Marti (Anwar), and her younger brother Andy…seems Steve’s 1st wife, who was also Marti’s mother, passed away a while support…anyway, the family is on the road, as Steve, a chemist, works for the EPA, and is touring military facilities in the south to ensure great storage and handling of all the sinister biowarefare chemicals they claim they don’t have. After Marti has a odd encounter in a gas place restroom (it wasn’t with George Michael), the family arrives at the disagreeable and settles into their unusual quarters. Things seem normal enough, but strangeness settles in, as more and more people seem not actually to be living, but going through the motions. Now one might chalk this up to the military and its tendency to squash individuality in general, but it’s something else, something more, something alien…and it has something to do with the slimy pods being pulled out of a nearby swamp during the night. Delicate soon the harmful is divided into two factions, normal people and spore people (the broken-down dwindling lickety-split) and the ominous serenity devolves into rude chaos…unbiased remember, they rep you when you sleep…

You know what? I enjoyed this movie…I also enjoyed the fresh release and the one from the slow 70s. The main dissimilarity I noticed was that while the previous two tended to portion many similarities (the main being the overwhelming sense of paranoia inherent within the epic), this one kind of went off it its fill direction, choosing awe and action over suspense, with focus given to Anwar as the lead character. Perhaps they were trying to appeal to a younger audience, I don’t know, but the overall result was better than I would have understanding. The budget may not have been huge, but I assume what they had they made pleasant exhaust of…at the very least the filmmakers knew enough to bring in a very solid cast who worked well together. I don’t know that any one performer stood out above the others, but they felt professional and maintained a sense of belonging in the chronicle. I did feel a few of the characters got slighted, especially the one played by Forest Whitaker, but oh well. There were a couple clichés running about, like General Platt’s (Ermey) rebellious daughter, played by Ms. Elise and the lovely, hero chopper pilot with the perfect hair, played by Wirth, but their roles ended up being relatively minor in the overall way of things. Ferrara keeps things engaging with some well-behaved shocks, despite the fact the action didn’t really kick in until about 45 minutes into the myth. The one gripe I would fabricate, if any, is that the film ended too soon, running about 87 minutes. It felt like there was more anecdote to be had by the waste, but I command it’s better not to out cease one’s welcome. I plan the gooey effects were generous, the spaghetti-like tendrils emanating from the pods especially creepy. The one scene that stands out in my mind is when Marti is taking a bath, and dozes off…oh looky there…someone stuck a pod above the ceiling tiles. Hey, something’s engaging…ewww, here reach some creepy crawlers, searching for a host. You know, I don’t assume whoever achieve that pod up there had establish worthy notion into placement, as even I would have know that once the pod started developing a replicant, the weight of said doppelganger would have been too grand for those measly tiles to handle…but, it did provide for a obnoxious itsy-bitsy sequence. And here’s nekkid lowdown, if you’re keen…Ms. Anwar does bare her teeny tots twice, the second time more so than the first. While toothsome, I did feel a small glum specifically because her character was supposed to be not of drinking age, and let’s face it, Anwar is the definitive waif. Even if her character was supposed to be eighteen, she level-headed looked all of about fourteen (Anwar was about 23 at the time the movie was made) . The movie also features what appears to be a paunchy frontal nekkid shot of Ms. Tilly, but the credits protest a body double was employed…oh well, boobage is boobage…there is one sequence that was particularly laughable (to me, at least), arrive the waste, featuring a boy and a helicopter. If you’ve seen the film, you know what I’m talking about…if not, well, I’m not going to say anymore than I already have…overall I notion this film an animated mix of science fiction, scare, and action, and something along the lines of what a director like John Carpenter might place out, only grand more toned down.

This Warner Brother’s DVD release features both the fleshy and widescreen versions, the widescreen being 2.35:1 anamorphic, both looking very determined and arresting. The Dolby Surround 2.0 comes through very well. As far as special features, there are none, as the film starts playing immediately when inserted into the player. You can obtain an interactive menu camouflage to appear displaying scene access and language options, but nothing else.

If you liked this film, I’d suggest another film called The Hidden (1987) featuring Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Nouri, and Claudia Christian and/or The Puppet Masters (1994), featuring Donald Sutherland, Eric Thal, and Julie Warner…both are underrated science fiction films worth seeing.

I’m the first to find bugged when they remake the classic — and this is the second reworking of an fresh which stands as a masterpiece of both science fiction and anxiety. To be determined, this is a retread of a scenario so familiar that the reference ‘pod people’ has entered the language as a recognizable expression. That said, this is simply a involving apprehension film. Miles above the thing done in the ’70s, this film is tight, building tension in each scene and never letting loose. I live for the experience of recommending a class act most folks have probably not heard of. This is one of those pictures.
