Preview: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Bluray)

When multiple residents of a Californian backwater begin to suffer from identical frenzied delusions, Dr Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) suspects the town is in the grip of a new kind of epidemic. But his investigations soon reveal the terrifying truth, uncovering not a medical emergency but an extra-terrestrial invasion that threatens mankind’s very existence.

Directed by Don Siegel (Dirty Harry), this 1950s classic brings the fear of the unknown to the streets of America. A milestone of the science-fiction genre and a critique of post-war American society, Invasion of the Body Snatchers remains an enduring and suspenseful classic.

Presented on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK, experience the thrills and horrors of this highly influential movie like never before.
