Day 19
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum and Leonard Nemoy in one cast...craziness. I had never seen this movie and I actually enjoyed it greatly. Though, I think its because of a book I read rather than the movie itself, but its still worked nonetheless.
One day the city of San Fransisco is fine and then the next day new flowers have popped up all over the city and now people are...changing. Not just changing...becoming entirely new....people. No...not people....things.
They get you when you are sleeping. They chase you when you awake (sing that to the tune of ''Santa Claus Is Coming To Town'). PS...the scene where they are all asleep and the pods pop up...creepy and gross!
I mentioned a book that deals with the body snatching idea, but in more detail and more of the aftermath. This is a must read if you are into alien possession (and can handle a bit of romance). It puts you in the mind of those who are still human and in the mind of those who aren't. Its a great concept that I feel was explored thoroughly in this book.
