"DO NOT TRUST ANYONE.
Since its first publication in 1955, Jack Finney’s classic sci-fi/horror novel The Body Snatchers has inspired numerous adaptations and created a whole subgenre of era-defining alien doppelgangers in books, film, and TV. 2007’s The Invasion was ahead of the curve, its eerily predictive shift toward a virus-like contagion more frighteningly resonant in a post-pandemic world.
A space shuttle crashes to Earth carrying an alien organism. Soon people are changing, becoming detached and emotionless. People like CDC director Tucker Kaufman (Jeremy Northam) who is investigating the crash. Meanwhile his ex-wife, psychiatrist Carol Bennell (Nicole Kidman), sees the same behaviour in a friend of their son, and a patient claims that her husband is no longer her husband. As people all across Washington D.C. become infected and the insidious epidemic spreads, Carol must fight to protect herself and her son, who might just hold the key to stopping the escalating invasion.
Produced by Joel Silver, and also starring Daniel Craig, Jeffrey Wright, and Veronica Cartwright, this edge-of-your-seat thriller makes its debut on 4K UHD with a wealth of new and archival extras.

The Invasion (Arrow 4k Ltd Ed)
Another superb Arrow release, complete with legacy extras and new contextualising features, both on the disc and in the informative booklet. The transfer is nothing short of stunning, with bit rates continually up in the 90s and above, making this the definitive release of this movie. Always the lesser of the Body Snatchers adaptations, and with a troubled Wachowski-assisted production to boot, this new Arrow edition goes a long way toward a timely re-appraisal of this feature, post-Covid, with its somewhat prescient view of a pandemic-ravaged world. This film has always struggled with its colour-saturated visuals in its home media incarnations, but Arrow's faithful, yet sensitive, restoration rights all of the previous wrongs, making this a joy to behold on re-watching. For my money the casting was always the issue here, with Kidman beatiful, but glacial, Craig looking uncomfortable to be there, Cartwright shoehorned in to provide a tenuous link to the much superior '78 remake, and the rest of the cast feeling bland at best. An interesting failure, given Arrow's unassailably deluxe 4k treatment, and well overdue a re-watch and re-appraisal. Don't sleep through this worthy re-issue!
