Dir: Don Siegel
1956
****
Don Siegel's original Body Snatchers paved the way for so many horror/Sci-fi classics. It's not my favourite version but it is one of my favourite B-movies from the era, mainly due to the realistic performances that were slightly more convincing than many others of the time. The key to this great horror is the utter hopelessness. Political messages can be found but context can be applied to almost anything but ignore all that, this is a clever Alien invasion film, sit back and enjoy.
