"Invasion of the Body Snathchers" is really a title that you would think deserves to belong to a throwaway B-movie of no mark. However, this film bucks that trend. Quite a creepy film that follows mainly a lead man in a town where he and the other happy residents are being surreptitiously replaced by clones. The questions are varied, and we follow our leads as they try to decipher what is going on and then how to react to it.
Not often something you say for a film in this genre, but the acting is generally very good and our lead (Kevin McCarthy) really carries off his role with aplomb. He makes it almost believable and convincing! Direction is good and there is always an underlying creepy tone to the film despite there being no gore or the likes. Everything is in our heads! I'd say you should give it try. It's more cerebral, but always accessible. Enjoyable movie.
