Product Information

Don Siegel's cult masterpiece, interpreted as an allegory of both McCarthyism and Communism, is undoubtedly one of the screen's most disturbing evocations of paranoia. It stars Kevin McCarthy as Dr. Miles Binnell, a physician whose traumatized arrival in the emergency room of a San Francisco hospital leads the staff to believe he's lost his mind. In a series of flashbacks, he unwinds a bizarre account of his last few days. After his return from a trip to rural Santa Mira, his nurse, Sally (Jean Willes), explains that his office has been flooded with patients who have made appointments yet never appeared. Former girlfriend Becky Driscoll (Dana Wynter) tells him that she's unable to rid herself of the belief that the man claiming to be her uncle is an impostor. A hysterical young boy refuses to return home, claiming that his mother is not his mother. Miles's concern over this pattern of incidents, temporarily allayed by some jargon from the town psychiatrist, is newly aroused when he gets a phone call from friend Jack Belicec (King Donovan), who begs him to come over and take a look at the strange mannequinlike figure that's suddenly appeared on his pool table. This exceptionally well written and directed fable, the ultimate comment on the subtly coercive conformity of the 1950s, may be Siegel's best film, and it is undoubtedly one of the most exciting science fiction films ever made.

  • A good buy for good entertainment

    Very good. And frightening! I'm an old woman and I first saw the movie at the cinema where me and two of my cousins walked to in Dallas. On the way back I was looking all around for a "pod" person to grab me, that's how much the movie affected me. I watched the updated version with Sutherland, et al., and while I enjoyed parts of it I don't think it can compare to the original. I went through all my old VHS tapes recently and threw out about 3 dozen plus the Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I wanted the DVD of it and ordered this one.

  • THEY'RE HERE! YOU'RE NEXT!

    This movie is the all time classic sci-fi movie. Start off easy and slowly builds to heart stopping action. It doesn't rely on computer graphics like today's movies. It relies on suspense, which there is plenty of. I highly recommend this for your movie library.

  • The old ones are sometimes the best.

    Along with being a fun movie to watch again, this pre-owned DVD was very clean and well taken care of, and played like brand new.

  • Why are so many people in town acting oddly?

    The excellent original version of the pod people invasion. If you like 50's Science Fiction you will enjoy this.

  • Who knew? Someone who wrote this film did. It prphesied what we have become over sixty years ago.

    This film presaged a LOT of what is going on today. A delightful film that stands the test of time. And, as is usual in cases of this kind, the original was MUCH better than the several replays and rehashes.
