Movie review
From Time Out Chicago
“Do not fall asleep!” advises the tag line of this piss-poor rehash of Don Siegel’s Cold War horror classic The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it didn’t tell us how to fight that battle in the absence of the speed pills that heroine Nicole Kidman has at her disposal. But it’s true what you heard: This time around the aliens propagate via puke in lieu of the tidier giant pea pods of yore. Perhaps this will find a niche audience of Roman shower fans? Lucky them.Author: Cliff Doerksen
