Body Snatchers   — 4K UHD 08/18/26

Jack Finney’s book The Body Snatchers has a rare record on film — almost all the cinematic adaptations are very good. For his foray into studio politics, filmmaker Abel Ferrara chose this highly commercial item, and came up with an interesting variation on the main theme, with a low-key cast and effect, organic-looking makeup effects. The main story idea is to begin the biological invasion in a locale that’s already regimented and conformist — a military base. Arrow swank Limited Edition has good new input from Abel Ferrara. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from Vinegar Syndrome.
