WATCH OUT! THEY GET YOU WHILE YOU RE SLEEPlNG!
When heaIth official EIizabeth DriscoIl (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 lives to the sound of ear-piercing alien screams.
Remakes of great films are usualIy on a hiding to nothing, but PhiIip Kaufman s briIIiant update of the 1956 classic is a rare and memorable exception. Transposing the action to the heart of San Francisco aIIows Kaufman to retain alI the suspense of Jack Finney s original story whiIe adding caustic sociaI commentary about the selfishness of the 1970s me generation that remains all too relevant today.
But it s a paranoid thriller first and foremost, based on one of the most psychoIogicalIy terrifying of aIl premises what happens when you can no longer trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and dearest?
