The American Film Academy (AFI doesn't know what organization it is, was it selected for the Golden Globe Awards?) The ninth among the top ten science fiction films.
Although it is a science fiction film, it is not the way to win with special effects, a suspenseful thriller. As far as this film is concerned, it's a bit hard to justify. It's a B-grade film itself, and it doesn't matter if it has some flaws. The film itself actually creates the kind of fear of doubting everything.
There is very little information on this film, only known to imply a political environment in which everyone is in danger. But is this kind of self-hazard conveyed by the original novel or by the director? unknown. The director's information and the novel's information are rarely seen.
But for today's audience, the passage after the hero and the heroine starts to run away seems lengthy. The image of this section loses its tense pleasure. The ending has been told by the title.
It is a small-cost science fiction film that is worth learning from, but the cost of science fiction films in that era seems to be small.

    The extraterrestrial invasion of pea pods is a kind of "homogenization" of mind control, the political ideology of the 1950s Cold War opposition, the presentation of the film focuses on the psychological horror effect, a kind of "dehumanization" The "inhuman" horror. The soft penetration of aliens into the people on earth is similar to Carpenter's "Extreme Space". The Cold War confronts the transition to a consumer society, and the human situation is still precarious.

    Jack Finney's novels should have been filmed in that era, with the psychological horror mixed with political metaphors. If such a story is filmed today, we will always put some commercial things in it, and ignore the fear of facing the unknown. . The story itself is too advanced. Even if the movie follows in the footsteps of the novel, its influence is still far-reaching. "The Thing" and "Dawn of the Living Dead" are all its descendants, and we humans have always feared the most. Yes, all of us.
