Another 50's classic and this one left me verrrry unsettled (lol drink every time I say 'unsettled' in the outro ๐). I feel like this one didn't blow minds at the time with special effects but probably did with the creeeeepy story! I've heard the 70's remake is just as good or even better, any interest in that one?

Yes this has definite horror elements to it and very psychologically [ahem] unsettling i recall references to it throughout pop culture something along the lines of '' Why are you acting so weird have you been replaced by a POD PERSON ? Yes please watch the 70's remake i believe it's one of the best Sci FI remakes ever Donald Sutherland , Jeff Goldblum and Veronica Cartwright make for a talented ensemble that ramps it up even further .

2025-05-11 06:36:31 +0000 UTCYou have to understand the time. This was after WWII and around Korea. The world was in a very unsettling state. Hostilities shifted from Nazis to Communists. McCarthy was on a rampage against secret and not so secret communists in the US. This is a reactionary movie to the McCarthy witch hunt. The problem is that there were communists in the US at the time. Some just wanted to a peacefully change to Communism but many were willing to violently overthrow the government. Muddying the waters, the peaceful Communists in may cases were friends with the folks advocating violence. Even though the way McCarthy went about things was wrong, he wasn't wrong about communists in the US. They were here and they never left.
