WATCH OUT! THEY GET YOU WHlLE YOU RE SLEEPING!
When health officiaI Elizabeth DriscolI (Brooke Adams) notices that her Iover has become strangely distant, this sets in train a series of shocking discoveries that sees both her and colleague Matthew BenneIl (DonaId Sutherland) 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 brilliant 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 while adding caustic social commentary about the seIfishness of the 1970s me generation that remains all too relevant today.
But it s a paranoid thriIler first and foremost, based on one of the most psychoIogicalIy terrifying of all premises what happens when you can no longer trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and dearest?
