Invasion of the Body Snatchers Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Classic Film Pick)
In
the face of low budget B-movie monster flicks, Don Siegel's 1956 filmic
adaptation of Jack Finney's science fiction novel introduced a new kind
of double-edged social satire to movie audiences. Filled with classic
chase sequences and creepy character development, the story follows Dr.
Miles Bennell (perfectly played by Kevin McCarthy) whose small
California town's citizens are being duplicated by aliens. Hitchcock
couldn't have done a better job of ramping up the suspense in a horror
film that is as much fun today as when it shocked audiences in the '50.
