It happened in 1956, 1978, 1993. You know what? It was alien's invasion.....in the movies. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" by Don Siegel, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" by Philip Kaufman, and "Body Snatchers" by Abel Ferrara.
I saw already '56 version and '78 version a long time ago. They were classical but really great. Some of scenes were very chilly and I was stunned. Especially, in '56 version, one guy shouted "They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next!". When I saw first this movie, maybe I was 10 or 12. That was really scary! :eek:
But I prefer '78 version. Japanese title was "SF Body Snatcher". Actors were Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy. Now I know them, but at that time, I knew only Leonard Nimoy as Spock. It was scary as much as '56 version. Especially, at the ending scene, Donald Sutherland's scream was scary. Because of his face!
All right, you know why I mentioned about "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? Of course not.(sorry!) Well, today I rented Body Snatchers' DVD. It's 1993 version. From previous movie, it was made 15 years later. Director is Abel Ferrara. I like his another movie,"The Funeral". Actresses are Gabrielle Anwar and Meg Tilly. Movie it-self was not scary. Same plot, same story, same aliens....Yeah, this is B-movie. But I really enjoyed it. Gabrielle Anwar's character was weak, but Meg Tilly's one line was scary.
"Where you gonna go, where you gonna run, where you gonna hide? Nowhere... 'cause there's no one like you left".
Do you like those movies? Have you ever seen them or one of them?
