Wow, for classic horror films from the 50's, it doesn't get much better than this.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is downright scary. You start following the characters actions , and start noticing that your town has a problem. Something is happening here. Something strange. Little by little the main character notices that the people have a strange fear, an unknown fear that creeps up on you. Then he discovers that there are giant frothing six foot long seed pods growing in his backyard greenhouse. ( a great scene) He pokes at them and sees that there is a human growing inside each one. His girlfriend is scared to death and screams. It turns out that the alien seed pods grow into humans that take over the city as mindless drones and the real people die off. Slowly the entire city is transformed, except him and his girlfriend. The change happens when you go to sleep, so if you don't go to sleep you are OK, you stay human.
The film is frightening, dramatic, suspenseful and mysterious. Man, this is one of my favorite movies. A real classic.
