Joe Dante on “Invasion Of The Body Snatchers”
May 3, 2010
Trailer 424 of 906
The filmmakers were hoping for a classier title (Sleep No More), but under any moniker it's proved to be one of the most influential of all science fiction movies. Remade in 1978, 1993 and 2007, not counting the various ripoffs throughout the years. Each has its points, but Don Siegel's spare, psychological original remains a haunting, noirish expression of modern paranoia which has defied categorical interpretation to this day.

Watching this week's TFH ode to blaxploitation makes me want to grow an Afro!.

It's enjoyable, and Racquel's presence makes it memorable (that poster of her in her loins is an icon), but, this is far from the best of Harryhausen..

It played a couple of years back on TCM underground, and "bizarre" does kind of nail it; it doesn't really make a lick of sense, but it's quite entertaining, and I still find myself humming "What You See is What You Get" frequently. The concept of cloning black leaders to undermine the black community's leadership was a precursor to the "Undercover Brother" film years later (though that was mind control drugs, not cloning exactly).
