Loading... Invasion of the Body Snatchersby Don Siegel (director) comfypants | Dec 22, 2015 |   aptrvideo | Oct 8, 2022 | Maybe I would have liked it if I hadn't read the book. I can't tell. During the time when suspense might (or might not) have been building, the adaptation is so close to the book that I couldn't really separate the two. The best thing about the book is the ending, and yet they felt the need to mess it up in both movie versions. In the 70s, they gave it a mindless zombie movie ending. But in this version, they don't even bother to replace it with anything. There's just... no ending. The last 20 minutes of the movie is nothing but flailing gibberish.
