DOOR PRIZES BY BUBONICON 55 AND ANDROIDVISION!  SPECIAL THANKS ALSO TO ALL THE OTHER HORROR/SCI-FI GROUPS IN ALBUQUERUQUE!

From acclaimed filmmaker Philip Kaufman (The Wanderers) comes this chilling ’70s adaptation of Jack Finney’s classic novel The Body Snatchers.  Filmy spores fall from space over San Francisco, and the city blossoms with beautiful new flora.  People take the flowers home and, as they sleep, the plants creep over them, devouring their bodies and stealing their identities — their emotions, their uniqueness, their souls.  If you notice an eerie change in someone very close to you, chances are you’re next!  More than just a highly effective sci-fi thriller, Invasion of the Body Snatchers treats contemporary problems of urban paranoia and loss of individuality with intelligence and sensitivity… and ends with the single most horrifying frame in movies.  Featuring a brilliant screenplay by W.D. Richter (Big Trouble in Little China), gritty camerawork by Michael Chapman (Raging Bull) and awe-inspiring special effects, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a pulse-pounding shocker with wonderful performances by Donald Sutherland (The Puppet Masters), Brooke Adams (The Dead Zone), Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek), Jeff Goldblum (The Fly) and Veronica Cartwright (Alien).

“More sheer fun than any movie I’ve seen since Carrie and Jaws and maybe parts of The Spy Who Loved Me.” – Pauline Kael, The New Yorker

“Of all the versions of Jack Finney’s sci-fi novel The Body Snatchers,  this is the best by a mile, as screenwriter W.D. Richter ties the book’s  insidious alien-invasion plot to the self-help movement…” – Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto
