4/4 Stars! “Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of the great sci-fi horrorshows” (Q Network)

5 Stars! “Kaufman’s direction is superb throughout…this film is one that will still make you sleep with the lights on.” (eFilmCritic)

4/4 Stars! “Director Kaufman and screenwriter W.D. Richter have made a virtually perfect film, a masterpiece of paranoid terror that continues to be, nearly forty years later, a watermark of the sci-fi and horror genres. Impeccably natural writing and richly observant performances” (The Film File)

“Invasion of the Body Snatchers validates the entire concept of remakes. This new version of Don Siegel’s 1956 cult classic not only matches the original in horrific tone and effect, but exceeds it in both conception and execution.” (Variety)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
