About Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Jack Finney's 1954 novel The Body Snatchers has been filmed four times, in 1956, 1978, 1993 and 2007, and each version stands alone.
The setting moves from small-town California to San Francisco to an army base to Washington, D.C., but the pod people work the same way every time.
Good to know
