Body Snatchers (Full Frame)

VHS, R, 87 minutes, WARNER

Don't sleep. Don't ever sleep. Because that's when it happens. That's when tentacles leave the alien pod and enter your ears and nostrils. Soon you aren't you anymore. You have been taken over, a victim of Body Snatchers. A science-fiction classic gets an eerie, modern update in this spellbinder inspired by 1956's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and produced by Robert H. Solo, who also produced the 1978 remake. Advances in screen special effects now make it possible for director Abel Ferrara ("King of New York", "Bad Lieutenant") and his crew of wizards to depict the actual birthing of a pod - and it's devastating effects in the human host. Who says there's no rest for the wicked? As stars Gabrielle Anwar ("Scent Of A Woman"), Terry Kinney ("The Last Of The Mohicans"), Forest Whitaker ("Bird") and Meg Tilly ("The Big Chill") discover, no one rests when the only way to sleep is to keep one eye open. And one foot out the door.
