Body Snatchers (1993)

They get you when you sleep.
As I move through the original film and the two remakes, I am dropping the rating each time. Does that Bode ill for The Invasion this summer? We will have to wait and see.
They didn't wait 22 years to redo it the second time. This time they used Bad Lieutenant and King of New York director Abel Ferrara, and cast the young beauty Gabrielle Anwar (The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines) and "thirthsomething" Terry Kinney in the leads. He went on to do The Laramie Project later and was fantastic.
If you want conformity, then setting your movie on a military installation ensures that you have an easier time of it. Younger people will love this version, but just updating to modern techniques and special effects doesn't always make for a better picture.
So, as we look forward to Kidman and Craig, we can discuss who did the best job in what will likely be the last remake - well, until our grand-children's time.
Skintastic Moment: Great view of Gabrielle Anwar's ta-tas waking up on a stretcher.

Don't forget the insipid Driller Killer.
As I said before, this one is good fro Tilly, and the judicious application of The Rollins Band :) |
