Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Philip Kaufman's 1978 remake of the Don Siegel classic is every bit as creepy as the original, and in some ways even more so. This time, rather than Small Town USA, the pods land in San Francisco (of course, most people from San Francisco acted like this before the pod attacks). Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Brooke Adams, and Leonard Nimoy are among those trapped in world where you can't trust anyone. Paranoia has rarely been finer. This is the second of the three "body snatchers" film, and I'm having difficulty deciding which I like best. Kevin McCarthy, from the orginal film, makes an amusing cameo.

One image from this film—a dog with a human face—continues to haunt my nightmares. That’s got to be one of the creepiest moments in the history of cinema!
