A sci-fi horror classic that's still as creepy as when it came out
This was the 1978 remake of the 1956 classic science fiction movie. The original was a product of 1950s America and the fear of Communism. The 78 version dropped the metaphors and went for straight sci-fi horror and what a job it did. I remember seeing it in a movie theater when I was a kid and being scared out of my pants.<br /><br />The story begins with spores from another planet landing in San Francisco where they form flowers on existing plants. Little do people know that they are aliens that replace humans that come into contact with them.<br /><br />The main characters are Donald Sutherland as a city health inspector Matthew Bennell and his friends. Brooke Adams as Elizabeth Driscoll who works in the Health Dept, Leonard Nimoy who is a famous psychiatrist Dr. David Kibner, Jeff Goldblum is a frustrated writer Jack Bellicec, and his wife Veronica Cartwright as Nancy Bellicec. Matthew and Brooke first discover the spores and try to warn the authorities, but are constantly frustrated by skeptical officials and friends.<br /><br />The movie captures the real horror of an alien take over. First people just act a little odd, not showing any emotions. Next they start having meetings at all hours with strange people passing along packages. Then friends and family start claiming their loved ones are not who they are like when Matthew drops off his dry cleaning and the owner tells him over and over again that his wife is not his wife. Then there are shocking scenes such as when a man jumps onto Matthew’s car and warns that people are coming and they’re endangered before a small mob chases after him. He’s suddenly killed and a silent and emotionless crowd stares down at him. Eventually the process is shown how the spores replace people and it’s not a pretty sight. It’s this steady building of tension that really makes the movie. As Elizabeth says, life becomes a nightmare and it’s like the entire city changed overnight.<br /><br />Nimoy and Goldblum even though they’re supporting characters also have standout performances. Nimoy plays a suave, know it all psychiatrist who is so assuring to everyone with a calm doctor’s voice. Goldblum on the other hand is a neurotic writer who is jealous of Nimoy and can’t stop talking about how his dreams are unfulfilled.
