Hammerman Ikon Film Guide

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
1978
**½
Director: Philip Kauffman
Cast: Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum

A remake of Don Siegel's 1950s scifi classic about aliens who gradually take over the world. The story is consistently interesting, but the film falls flat in the second half. The ending, on the other hand, is a nice one.
