Opis

With its paranoid plot of alien duplicates replacing average American folk, Invasion of the Body Snatchers was the first horror film to locate the monstrous in the everyday. Barry Keith Grant's comprehensive study traces the film's production and reception history, and explores themes of genre, communism and conformity and gender.
