"I
keep seeing these people, all recognizing each other. Something
is passing between them all,
some secret. It's a conspiracy, I
know it." – Elizabeth Driscoll
Why watch this?
The original 1956 film was creepy. This remake is downright terrifying.
Plot Summary:
A San Francisco health inspector, Matthew Bennell, and his
colleague Elizabeth Driscoll discover that residents are slowly
being replaced by alien duplicates. These duplicates appear
identical to the humans they replace but are devoid of emotion
and empathy. As the alien takeover spreads throughout the city,
Bennell and Driscoll, along with two friends, must attempt to
survive and warn others of the impending global invasion.
Dad's Preview:
The premise alone is too unbearable to
imagine. The filmmakers succeed in creating the sense of dread
from the original 1956 film, but it is much more unnerving,
which elevates this masterpiece. The ending will stay in your mind for
quite some time.
