The second film adaptation of Jack Finney's The Body Snatchers (after the first in 1956) is this terrifically creepy and frequently startling 1978 version with Donald Sutherland, Leonard Nimoy, Jeff Goldblum, Veronica Cartwright, and Brooke Adams playing Public Health inspectors and friends who investigate when, seemingly overnight, San Francisco (its mud bath bathhouses, its bookshops, its restaurants, workplaces and streets) become overrun with people who, according to their loved ones, aren't really them at all!
