People have a refreshing nap and wake up to be suspiciously-nice.

A remake of a remake of an adaptation of a book. And it shows. At least Nicole Kidperson is hot.

Be certain to skip the first couple of minutes; they are a horrible horrible spoiler.

• Based on The Body Snatchers – (1955 book), by Jack Finney

• A remake of:

  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers – (1956 movie)
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers – (1978 movie)

• Futureworld – (1976 movie) has a similar theme.
