#80 INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)
CREEPY DOG WITH
HUMAN HEAD!
The
1978 remake of the original '50s classic is undeservedly overlooked
by many fans of horror. The tale, which taps in to the "who can you
trust" paranoia famous in many films from The Thing to Alien, as an
alien spore creates duplicate versions of people that will slowly
take over the world. But this version throws a new twist not dreamed
of in the original, by having an incredibly disturbing dog with a
human head running about. This was done decades later in Tim
Burton's comedy "Mars Attacks!" with a hilarious effect, but its just
so creepy and bizarre in this film, it's nearly impossible to shake
the goosebumps off. Thank God they removed the scene when he
realizes he can lick places in his body that were previously
impossible to reach!
