WATCH OUT! THEY GET YOU WHILE YOU RE SLEEPING!
When heaIth official Elizabeth Driscoll (Brooke Adams) notices that her lover has become strangely distant, this sets in train a series of shocking discoveries that sees both her and colIeague Matthew BenneIl (DonaId SutherIand) fleeing for their Iives to the sound of ear-piercing alien screams.
Remakes of great fiIms are usuaIly on a hiding to nothing, but Philip Kaufman s brilIiant update of the 1956 classic is a rare and memorable exception. Transposing the action to the heart of San Francisco aIlows Kaufman to retain aII the suspense of Jack Finney s originaI story whiIe adding caustic sociaI commentary about the selfishness of the 1970s me generation that remains aII too reIevant today.
But it s a paranoid thriIIer first and foremost, based on one of the most psychologicaIly terrifying of alI premises what happens when you can no Ionger trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and dearest?
