Invasion of the Body Snatchers Page #6

Synopsis: The first remake of the paranoid infiltration classic moves the setting for the invasion from a small town to the city of San Fransisco and starts as Matthew Bennell notices that several of his friends are complaining that their close relatives are in some way different. When questioned later they themselves seem changed as they deny everything or make lame excuses. As the invaders increase in number they become more open and Bennell, who has by now witnessed an attempted "replacement" realises that he and his friends must escape or suffer the same fate. But who can he trust to help him and who has already been snatched?

pushed on by the solar winds.

We adapt... and we survive.

Shut the door.

How are we gonna get outta here?

Through the door. Come on.

We got separated.

I don't know where he is. I've looked

everywhere. Have you seen him?

Nancy, this building is surrounded.

How did you get in?

I've been wandering among 'em for hours.

They can be fooled.

How?
