Classic sci-fi horror

A Customer from Stockport, 2nd February, 2009

Classic sci-fi horror as people start being replaced by 'soulless' copies. Kevin McCarthy is brilliant in the lead & the special effects, albeit sparse, are done really well considering this was made in the 1950s. I also liked how the ending leaves it quite wide open.

You'll never sleep again!!!

NicolaD from from Durham, 17th February, 2008

A must see as the original body snatchers film. spooky stuff that holds up well today as it was never filled with special effects that dated, and the ones that are in it add to the atmosphere. Keep an eye on the family and friends, and look out for any personality changes after watching this. Supposedly a dig at communism taking control if we're caught napping, but it's spurned many a remake and spin off, which shows how good it was in the first place.

A huge classic!

A Customer from London, 5th February, 2008

Absolutely amazing: do watch the b/w version (not the colour one), and try to imagine what impact such a movie could have had when it was released. So much more fantasy and class than the following re-makes! A huge sci-fi classic, not to be missed.
