The "pod people", indistinguishable from normal people except for their utter lack of emotion, work together to secretly spread more pods in order to replace the entire human race.

Response to the 1993 remake was decidedly mixed. Nominated for a Palm D'Or at Cannes, the film was dumped by Warner Brothers, releasing it to only a few dozen theaters. Some critics panned the film--Richard Harrington of the Washington Post (February 18, 1994) called it "a soulless replica of Don Seigel's 1956 model and Philip Kaufman's 1978 update" [1]. The film had its enthusiastic defenders. The Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert (February 25, 1994) gave it four stars, praising it for psychological realism and social criticism: Cannes Film Festival logo. ...

Pod people is a nickname given to an alien species featured in the 1955 novel The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney, the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1978 remake of the same name and the 1993 film Body Snatchers. ...
