Admittedly, I was certain I was headed for B-movie hell when I first queued up The Body Snatchers, and I am happy to say that my initial impressions of the film were wrong. I can't compare this 1993 version to the earlier ones as I have not yet seen them, but on it's own merits, The Body Snatchers is quite an exciting movie. The story this time is centered around a U.S. military base where most of the personnel seem to be mere vessels for some sort of extra-terrestrial beings intent on taking over the human race. The creature effects are quite good (we actually don't see too many creatures but but a lot of tentacles make for some queasy moments) and we get some decent bloody chunks of gore here an there. From an acting perspective I thought everyone was solid and have no complaints. I was particularly impressed with R. Lee Ermey was down played his character and it worked. I've always found his characters a little to hammy to take seriously. Also noteworthy is the musical score/sound which gave the movie a lot of its creepiness. Perhaps not overly musical but definitely eerie. All in all I would give The Body Snatchers a solid 7 out of ten, Perhaps losing a mark for a slow beginning. But once The Body Snatchers Kicks it into High gear around the half hour mark, it's an unrelenting thrill fest that demands to be seen at least once.
