For a small film,this one does honor for the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's not real scary at all but the idea of aliens taking over an army base is real interesting. Gabby Anwar stands in this one. And... Full review

Ferrara's riff on the Bodysnatchers story takes us onto a military base this time, as an environmental scientist and his family arrive to take up a month long placement. Are those soldiers unemotional because they're soldiers or because of something... Full review

I loved this movie. It's tense, action-packed, creepy, and genuinely unique. I haven't seen the previous 2 versions of this film, but I doubt they were anything like this. Check it out for yourself.... Full review

Body Snatchers" is rated R for violence, nudity, profanity and vulgarity, with the expected glop and goo special effects as the transformations take place.
Especially since "Body Snatchers" makes no attempt to contemporize or inject any kind of original spin on the material.

Ferrara's "Body Snatchers" is glitzy but hollow, as if the director too had lost his soul and become content with de rigueur mortis.
Abel Ferrara is the third director to tackle "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," author Jack Finney's wickedly prescient '50s parable of unconscious conformity in which human beings are replaced by soulless replicas from outer space as they sleep.

In 1993, maverick director Abel Ferrara , fresh from his triumph in Bad Lieutenant , decided to remake it again.....has some good moments, all I can ask is,....in the most effective and creepy scene, the young boy's kindergarten class is asked by the teacher to share their finger paintings.... ...

even very scared, it's a decent thriller....The ensuing confusion helps to weave a pretty suspenseful flick made all the more suspenseful by some decent performances..... ... Full Review

Of the four feature film versions of Jack Finneys classic 1955 sci-fi tale The Body Snatchers, this 1993 update is the only one to employ the original novels title.
Which is ironic considering it doesnt seem as if anyone involved in making the movie bothered to read Finneys book.
