Classic 70s horror (7*)
In this remake of the 50s horror movie, a health inspector witnesses the invasion of alien 'body snatchers', who capture human beings.
Despite being a remake, the film is well-adapted to a 70s public. The scenery, the dialogues and especially the music turn this movie into a rather enjoyable thriller with a good portion of suspense.
Often, it has the same feel as the 70s zombie movies. Longer shots, time for showing the environment, and the music that nowadays sounds very offbeat to a horror movie. Also, the camera movements are sometimes experimental for that time.
The production managed to get talented actors, who add depth that is usually lacking to nowadays' horror movies.
Already seen the 50s movie? It's still enjoyable. The story was rewritten so that there are still plenty of surprising scenes.
All in all, it is good entertainment and a must for 70s horror movie fans.
