Scream Factory's spores silently invade your Blu-ray collection this August!

JOIN THE SCREAM FACTORY HIVEMIND WHEN YOU PICK UP PHILIP KAUFMAN'S "INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS" ON AUGUST 2ND!

You may find this hard to believe, but I have never seen the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS starring Kevin McCarthy. However, I have seen this 1978 remake, which is a classic in its own right, and I am super excited that it is getting the royal treatment by those magnificent folks at Scream Factory! It's time to point and shriek with joy fellow pod people!

Film Synopsis: Under cover of darkness, while an unsuspecting city sleeps, an alien life form begins to sow the seeds of unspeakable terror. Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Veronica Cartwright and Jeff Goldblum star in this shocking, "first-rate suspense thriller" (Newsday).

One by one, the residents of San Francisco are becoming drone-like shadows of their former selves. As the phenomenon spreads, two Department of Health workers, Matthew (Sutherland) and Elizabeth (Adams), uncover the horrifying truth: Mysterious pods are cloning humans — and destroying the originals! The unworldly invasion grows stronger with each passing minute, hurling Matthew and Elizabeth into a desperate race to save not only their own lives, but the future of the entire human race.
