Posts Tagged ‘invasion of the body snatchers’

‘Tis the season for talk of scary movies. Everyone has their favorites, or course. New or old? Bloody or creepy?

I was at a Halloween party over the weekend where the subject came up (“The Dead Zone” and “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” were mentioned), other titles were mentioned at work (“The Innocents” and “The Orphanage”), and I did a post last year (“Post #13”) where I listed some of my favorites.

Since I’m always in search of a new scary movie, I went and saw “Let Me In” over the weekend. It’s the remake of the great Swedish horror film, “Let the Right One In.” Capably directed and adapted by Matt Reeves, and reset in the American southwest, it has two great performances by the young leads (Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Moretz). The visual effects were a little too much (“Hey, look what we can do”), more needed to be left to the imagination. I still liked it, though.

Hope you all have a great Halloween!
