Scream Factory Blu
The 1970s has long been heralded as the greatest decade for film so far, giving birth to a cinematic movement known as the paranoid thriller, which includes titles like The Conversation, All the President’s Men, and The French Connection. Included in this lineup is Philip Kaufman’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which is not just a worthy contribution to the paranoia movement, but also an excellent sci-fi tale of immense fear and suspense, a call for social awareness, and finally, not just a worthy but a superior remake of a groundbreaking predecessor. It’s the kind of horror story that will live on through the ages, and like Richard Matheson’s “I am Legend,” will be retold every so often to reflect the current times. Although it’s likely none of them will ever be as successful as Philip Kaufman’s take, this excellent new release from Shout! Factory will keep you plenty busy until then: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/blu/body-snatchers-blu-ray/
