Philip Kaufman’s 1978 remake of the 1956 cult film INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS is full of dark locations, eerie zoom angles, an ominous soundtrack, and leaves plenty to be desired and admired: which is entirely (and obviously) on purpose...<br>
<br>
The main characters aka our central heroes who... in a film about mankind stealthily taken over by aliens through the result of cloning pods, which, unlike the original, we actually witness and experience in grotesque goopy glory... are narcissistic and aloof in the human world, and hardly the kind of characters to really feel for or even, initially, sympathize with before the slow, calculated takeover (already in progress)...<br>
