BODY SNATCHERS (1993) [BLU-RAY]

Don't sleep. Don't ever sleep. That's when it happens. That's when tentacles leave the alien pod and enter your ears and nostrils. Soon you're not you anymore. You've been taken over, a victim of Body Snatchers. A science-fiction classic gets an eerie, modern update in this spellbinder inspired by 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers and from the producer of the 1978 remake. Advances in screen special effects now enable director Abel Ferrara (King of New York, Bad Lieutenant ) and his crew of wizards to depict the actual birthing of a pod -- and its devastating effect on the human host. Who says there's no rest for the wicked' As stars Gabrielle Anwar, Terry Kinney, Forest Whitaker and Meg Tilly discover, no one rests when the only way to sleep is to keep one eye open. And one foot out the door.

Rebel director Abel Ferrara's atmospheric take on the classic sci-fi story is set on a Southern military base where a teenage girl awakes to find that alien pods are systematically taking over the people around her, draining their personalities and turning them into inhuman monsters. Gabrielle Anwar, Meg Tilly, Forest Whitaker and Terry Kinney star.
