The fifth cinematic outing for 'The Invasion of the Body Snatchers', Jack Finney's tale of paranoia and alien replicants. In this version a DC shrink begins to suspect something is awry when more and more of her patients complain that their loved ones are no longer their loved ones, a suspicion that is confirmed when she visits the home of one of her clients to find the husband in a cocoon (or 'pod' if you like). With the rest of civilisation increasingly succumbing to the alien 'virus' while they sleep she teams up with a colleague and friend in a race against time to stay awake long enough to find a cure.
