nb. turn it off at the end of the obvious denouement scene (you'll know it because it's when they break the 4th wall), the director wanted to end the film there but was pressured into a hollywood ending. enjoi!

Yep, it's great. Although Phillip Kaufman's 1978 remake is far superior, more disturbing, and has a truly haunting finale.

Avoid 1993's straight-to-video 'Bodysnatchers' like the plague.
