Movie Night: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Details
A chilling metaphor for Cold War paranoia and conformity, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" follows small-town doctor Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) as he uncovers a terrifying conspiracy behind an alien invasion. People in his community are being replaced by emotionless duplicates, grown from mysterious pods. These "pod people" look identical to their human counterparts but lack all individuality, love, and compassion. As Miles races to warn the world, he finds himself alone against an insidious, silent takeover, highlighting the horrifying possibility of losing one's identity and humanity to an unseen enemy.
