Sci-fi movies experienced a boom in the 1950s and this remains one of the enduring classics. Miles Bennell is a respected doctor who discovers that people in his small Californian town are being replaced by identical-looking aliens. The only characteristic betraying these "pod people" is their complete lack of emotion. McCarthy's frantic efforts to stop the spread of these impostors look hopeless as more and more succumb - and that's where this film really excels in generating its paranoid tension.

    I thought this was great for its year.Films this old are generally not that good because the special effects were not as good as they are now, but this isnt as bad as I thought it was going to be. The plot was interesting, the acting was ok due to the year produced.
