Invasion of the Body Snatchers at 65: Being Human - 65th Anniversary Video | Movie Birthdays

Invasion of the Body Snatchers 65th Anniversary Video Essay

This video essay looks back at the Sci-Fi classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. Directed by Hollywood maverick Don Siegel (Dirty Harry) and based on the book by Jack Finney. The movie is a chilling combination of horror and science fiction which was a cut above schlockier alien invasion fare from the 50s, partly due to its ambiguous down beat ending but also it has proven to be a timeless allegory for society’s growing fears and flaws. In this video not only do I look at the original I also revisit the various remakes which in their own way have some chilling observations and predictions about society as well.

Please check out the video and let me know what you think in the comments.
