Good Classic Sci-Fi
A good classic sci-fi film. Not really a plausible film but a good work of fiction. Interesting story, great group of actors and just enough horror to add to alien science fiction theme to make it a cult classic.
An alien life form has landed on Earth. It's intentions is to duplicate itself into every life form on the planet - including humans - in order to survive.
I read about the original ending to this film - that sounds like it would have been good to me - it was a grim ending with Dr. Bennell screaming as he saw more pods in a truck (no hope for the Earth). But the version I have seen is the "happier ending".... which still worked for me. In this "happier ending" it gave us a feeling that maybe Earth could be saved and left an opening for a part 2 if they had chose to do so. I would not mind seeing the original idea - but his "happier ending" was good to me.
This makes a great after dark film for those that like sci-fi.
8.5/10
