New on 4K Ultra HD: BODY SNATCHERS (1993) Starring Gabrielle Anwar, Meg Tilly & Forest Whitaker

Product Description: Environmental Protection Agency officer Steve Malone (Terry Kinney, The Firm) travels to a US Army base in rural Alabama to investigate potentially toxic materials which have been causing curious symptoms amongst soldiers. His family — teenage daughter Marti (Gabrielle Anwar, Scent of a Woman), young son Andy (Reilly Murphy, Dangerous Game), and wife Carol (Meg Tilly, Psycho II) — go along for the ride and begin interacting with, and being threatened by, locals who are visibly unwell. As events unfold on and around the Army base, it becomes eerily apparent that increasing numbers of people are being replaced by alien replicants while they sleep.

The third feature film adaptation of Jack Finney’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers, following films by Don Siegel in 1956 and Philip Kaufman in 1978, 1993’s succinctly-titled Body Snatchers served as the major studio debut for noted indie stalwart and provocateur Abel Ferrara. Featuring a crew assembled of Ferrara regulars — screenwriter Nicholas St. John (King of New York, Ms. 45), editor Anthony Redman (Dangerous Game), cinematographer Bojan Bazelli (China Girl), and composer Joe Delia (The Driller Killer, Bad Lieutenant) — alongside a game ensemble cast that also includes R. Lee Ermy (Full Metal Jacket) and Forest Whitaker (Platoon), Body Snatchers is a bold adaptation of an iconic story devised for a Gen-X audience. Vinegar Syndrome is proud to present Abel Ferrara’s oft-overlooked sci-fi thriller in a new 4K restoration accompanied by new interviews with the crew, including Ferrara himself.
