Summary: BODY SNATCHERS - MEG TILLY
Review: This is my favorite version of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" I rememeber seeing the remake with Donald Sutherland in 1978 and thought it could not be topped. Even after seeing this version on TV a few years back... so recently I bought the 1978 remake to see it once again to compare... but after veiwing this version with Meg Tilly ... watching the 1978 remake once more, the 1978 remake was lacking something that "Body Snatchers" version has. If you have never seen any of these "Invation of the Body Snatcher" movies. Please watch them in order...The original from 1956 with Kevin McCarthy ..next the 1978 with Donald Sutherland , then this version "The Body Snatchers"with Meg Tilly ...to be able to enjoy them all

Summary: Worst...
Review: This is the worst remake of the remakes of the original. I enjoyed the first remake with Donald Sutherland but found this remake quite contrived and trite. Not the best, see the first remake and the original. Not the best film.

Summary: Where are you going to hide?
Review: While this is not the best of the three versions of Jack Finney's story it is still an enjoyable adaptation. I get the impression that it is meant to be a sequel of sorts to the 1978 Kaufman film, shifting the location from San Francisco to an army base. Lacking the suspense and paranoia of its two predecessors the film manages to lift itself above potential mediocrity. Its a fun way to pass the time and does not drag on for too long, but don't expect anything thought provoking or scary. The DVD transfer is quite good, apart from very slight artefacting during the opening titles. The major letdown is the lack of features - no trailer, no commentary (surely Robert H Solo could have said something, explaining why he produced 2 different versions of the story?).

Summary: Not a bad entry into the "Paranoia" genre
Review: Yet another remake of the classic '50s sci-fi film. This one is directed by Able Ferrar and I'm wondering what prompted Warner to hire him? He's not a big Hollywood director and he doesn't usually work this kind of project. Though not a bad film, it's already been done very well on 2 previous occasions. So why bother. One reason might be that this is set on a military base which makes one wonder what they're sayig about the military mind set. This outing doesn't quite get the paranoia level up as high as the original but it has some truly creepy scenes in it that should make your skin crawl. If you're a fan of the genre, this should go on your list. Not at the top, but somewhere not far down.
