Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
While other 1950s sci-fi films were scrambling to outdo each other with increasingly elaborate monsters, spaceships, and robots, Don Siegel’s brilliantly streamlined movie surpassed them all with its encroaching grip of psychological terror. This is sci-fi meets film noir, its story told in flashback, with shadowy lighting and featuring one of the most horrifying enemies in all of cinema – ourselves. The hidden subtext of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is more relevant than ever in our digital age – when a steady barrage of sophisticated gadgets makes all of us seem less than human. Join us for a classic that never grows old.
