Steve works for the Environmental Protection Agency and has been assigned the task of inspecting some of the bases in the southeastern part of the United States. Marti is left alone a lot and spends most of her time wandering around the base looking for fun. The longer she stays on base, the more suspicious she becomes. We soon learn what is at the heart of everyone's suspicion in some truly gruesome special effects scenes. What this version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers shows us that the others didn't, is the alien pods taking over bodies from the inside out.
Tentacles slither out of the pods and wrap themselves around their human prey to do their vile work.
When they spot a human that has not yet been converted, they let out a really nasty sound. Think ambulance siren meets lap dog yelp. Not a pretty sound. It gradually becomes clear that the entire town is under the same spell and if Marti doesn't act quickly, she's next. I found Body Snatchers to be a very scary and enjoyable movie.
