There's nothing wrong with creating a derivative film or re-imagining or remaking an old title, but to do so without an ounce of originality is beyond disappointing. This movie isn't inspired by "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" it *IS* "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Dead copy, different actors. No original ideas, no original scenes, if it happened there, it happens here.
Let's see we have: 1. Pods 2. Copies appear fully grown and nude 3. Copies must kill the person they are copying 4. You can "pretend" to be a copy and it works 5. When a copy realizes you are human they open their mouths wide and shriek 6. The heroine is trying to find her little brother 7. The heroes get separated from their friend, when they meet him later he is a copy 8. Copies shamble around expressionlessly like pod people from IotBS
The only "new" stuff in this movie is the updating of technologies and the addition of cheap jump scares and found footage (e.g. the worst that modern horror has to offer.)
What a wasted opportunity! :-(
