Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
nightcrawlercyp-311-219346 Although the movie walks on a well treaded path that of an alien parasite which controls humans and infects them one by one the movie still manages to be very enjoyable. One of the things I liked most is that it starts with several stereotypes and during the development it is shown the real person behind those. There are a lot of surprises although you know some of the persons that are infected from the start. Some may say that the idea was copied partially from an outer limits episodes and it does have some elements in common but the fact that it develops on those ideas makes it a movie on its own and not a copycat.All and all this is a movie full of comedy that in the same time keeps you tense until the final moment. I really recommend to anyone that wants a horror that will pleasantly surprised by it. The only fault I can find is the main villains monologue. But It is not such a big deal and will give it a 10.
utgard14 Invasion of the Body Snatchers comes to high school in this sci-fi horror flick directed by Robert Rodriguez with a script from Kevin Williamson. The faculty at an Ohio high school are taken over by aliens and it's up to a motley crew of subverted teenage stereotypes to stop them. The 'teenage' cast is great with Josh Hartnett a standout (despite his embarrassing haircut). The actors playing the faculty members are all good and seem to be having a fun time in every scene. Most of them are recognizable names like Famke Janssen and Robert Patrick but a lesser-known one that deserves some praise is character actor Daniel von Bargen, who sadly died earlier this year. In addition to Body Snatchers, we get homages and references to many other films, including The Breakfast Club, The Thing, and Terminator 2. Solid direction from Rodriguez and a funny, self-aware script from Williamson. Both men were in their creative prime here. Good soundtrack also helps. It's a fun movie that has only gotten better over time.
Emerald Reprobates This is a decent high school horror with a mix of up and coming actors and established stars. From the writer of Scream and the director of From Dusk Til Dawn, while not quite the classic this film had a lot to recommend it and is worth a watch.Aliens or parasites or alien parasites, it doesn't really matter are trying to take over the world one school at a time. In Herrington High School Josh Harnett (sporting a left over Jim Carey haircut from Dumb and Dumber) leads a plucky band of misfits (featuring hobbits, girl-racers and that guy from that thing) on a quest to rid their school of water obsessed body snatchers.Featured on Episode 64 of The Emerald Reprobates Podcast.
Star Master If this were a term paper and I were part of the Faculty marking it: A+ Nothing short of brilliant and still an enjoyable romp to this day, bringing an old premise into new territory (a talent of screenwriter Kevin Williamson, whom in my opinion is wasting the amount of awesome movies he could be writing on television shows I have no interest in).Robert Rodrigues' best work (to me), and I've never seen him rise above this gem in anything else he has done.The score by Marco Beltrami, the various artist's soundtrack, the actors and actresses, the colouring of the film, the dialogue, the characters, the twists, the turns...everything is like lightning in a bottle.Watched this in High School and it will go down as one of my all time favourites.
