Invasion of the Body Snatchers has always been on the top of my list of best horror movies ever made. It is solidly suspenseful throughout from beginning to end. The stars even had wax moldings made of themselves to use as the pods, or counterfiet alien clones. It has a lot to say about how modern progress has alienated the individual by suppressing intinctive emotions. I've even recorded it without the tacked on beginning and ending added after test screenings so audiences would not feel excessively depressed about a negative finish. By some accounts, a few viewers didn't take the original version seriously enough.
