Richter and director Philip Kaufman give away the "twist" immediately, and there are a number of statements from characters in this film (such as the first time we hear the advice to not fall asleep) that only make sense if one already knows from Don Siegel's original just why they shouldn't fall asleep. One oddity about this film is that it seems to assume that very few people will watch who aren't already familiar with the original. But it is full or intriguing ideas, some beautiful cinematography, and quite a few quirky charms. Some things it does better than the original, although slightly more is not done as well. Just what is going on? Although not quite as good as the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), this remake is very interesting and well worth a watch. ![]() ![]() Before long, more and more people are claiming the same thing about their friends and relatives.
