Steve Malone, scientifique employé par l'Agence pour la protection de l'environnement, s'installe avec sa famille dans une base militaire de l'Alabama. Les relations entre sa seconde femme, Carol et sa fille, Marti, ne sont pas au beau fixe. Mais Steve est rapidement confronté à d'autres problèmes : chargé d'assainir un dépôt de produits toxiques, il constate que l'eau des environs contient un étrange parasite. Il s'inquiète également du comportement étrange de nombreux militaires et de la tension qui règne dans la caserne. Un inexplicable changement d'atmosphère est en train de se produire : Carol, comme d'autres personnes de leur entourage semble avoir été dépossédée de sa personnalité. (Orange Cinéma Séries)

Originally, I reviewed the film with just one star when comparing it to the excellent 1978 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Then I thought that it was not completely fair and added one more star, reluctantly. Body Snatchers doesn't lose out only to the book, which makes sense, and doesn't lose out only to its aforementioned predecessor, which is one of the best films in the sci-fi genre. In terms of points, the original film version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the mid-50s clearly wins - by the way, it was a B-movie but a likable one that successfully conveyed the atmosphere of the Cold War to the big screen. This is exactly the atmosphere that Body Snatchers desperately lacks, and yet it is the charm of this story. The problem lies partly in the screenplay, which sets the story on a military base where the soldiers, from their very nature, always have the same expression, thus preventing the viewer from enjoying the transformation after the attack. The second flaw is the routine work of the director Abel Ferrara, who has several average films to his credit, and Body Snatchers doesn't stand out from them at all. It lacks decent direction and is dull. Overall impression: 45%.
