When going to see the third remake of the classic film Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), audiences should know the drill: there is a strange occurrence in the sky, followed by a few disquieting signs that people are no longer acting like themselves; slowly, the protagonists realize that their friends and fellow citizens are being replaced by malevolent, emotionless aliens; soon, part of the dwindling numbers of untransformed people, the protagonists are pursued by hordes of aliens intent upon bringing them into the fold; and finally, since this is a big-budget film aiming to please the masses, there is the inevitable happy ending, as the evil aliens are defeated and the status quo is restored. Only someone completely divorced from American popular culture of the past sixty years could possibly regard this summary as a "spoiler."An Intelligent Virus: A Review of The Invasion by Gary Westfahl
