Invasion Of The Body Snatchers remade yet again, this time as a teen scream movie. I don't mean that facetiously, it really is an explicit Invasion Of The Body Snatchers remake. Considering the entire range of things a teen scream remake of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers could turn out to be, this one is probably near the best end of the possible outcomes. It's entertaining enough, for a teen scream, and is peppered with some occasional really nice touches. There have definitely been some worse remakes of Body Snatchers, long as you're ok with teen scream movies. Rewatchability: maybe okay. I could see sitting through it again someday. I'd rather watch this again than the Nicole Kidman one.
Update: about two and a half years later I did watch this one again. It's a slow starter, definitely seems through the first act like it's going to be utter crap, and, yes, it's definitely a teen scream flick, but once it gets going it's just well done enough to be enjoyable on that level. I stand by my above review. This movie deserves a little affection.
