About this event
FROM DEEP SPACE… THE SEED IS PLANTED… TERROR GROWS he first remake of the paranoid infiltration classic moves the setting for the invasion, from a small town to the city of San Francisco and starts as Matthew Bennell notices that several of his friends are complaining that their close relatives are in some way different. When questioned later they themselves seem changed, as they deny everything or make lame excuses. As the invaders increase in number they become more open and Bennell, who has by now witnessed an attempted “replacement”, realises that he and his friends must escape or suffer the same fate. But who can he trust to help him and who has already been snatched? A whip-smart statement on urban paranoia and loss of individuality, this 1978 chiller combines a dazzling screenplay, masterful cinematography from Raging Bull' s Michael Chapman, and awe-inspiring special effects to create the perfect big screen classic for this Halloween season. Runtime: 116 minutes Director: Philip Kaufman Country: U.S.A Year: 1978 Film
