I first watched this film when I was about fourteen and have vivid, although somewhat cringy memories of re-enacting with my friend, the method which the alien body snatchers use to identify the real humans, i.e, pointing and screaming like a fog horn. Not my finest hour, but my point is, that this film left a lasting impression and watching it again recently made me realise how scary it really is. You might well know the plot line, since there are so many re-makes, but to sum up: Family move to army base- soon people start acting strangely, or are taken away screaming into the night. The body snatchers are here and they want you! One of the eeriest moments is when the female lead, Marty's younger brother does a picture at nursery and it becomes apparent that all the other children have already been body snatched, by the fact that they all draw the same creepy picture. Marty is a solid lead character, as is her army boyfriend. It's not as good as the 1970s Donald Sutherland version, but it does stand up well in comparison.
