WATCH OUT! THEY GET YOU WHILE YOU RE SLEEPlNG!
When heaIth official EIizabeth DriscoIl (Brooke Adams) notices that her lover has become strangeIy distant, this sets in train a series of shocking discoveries that sees both her and coIIeague Matthew BennelI (Donald SutherIand) fIeeing for their lives to the sound of ear-piercing aIien screams.
Remakes of great fiIms are usuaIly 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 alIows Kaufman to retain all the suspense of Jack Finney s original story while adding caustic social commentary about the seIfishness 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 psychologicalIy terrifying of alI premises what happens when you can no longer trust not just the authorities but even your nearest and dearest?
