The original nightmare that threatened the world.
Something evil has taken possession of the small town of Santa Mira, California. Hysterical people accuse their loved ones of being emotionless imposters, of not being themselves. At first, Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) tries to convince them they're wrong...but they're not. Plant-like extraterrestrials have invaded Earth, replicating the villagers in giant seed "pods" and taking possession of their souls while they sleep. Soon the entire town is overwhelmed by the inhuman horror, but it won't stop there. In a terrifying race for his life, Dr. Bennell escapes to warn the world of the deadly invasion of the pod people!

The story is great, small town invaded by body snatching aliens that get you whilst you sleep, lone hero trying to escape and warn everyone else.
The DVD is interesting in that it gives a black and white version as well as a colour rendered one (quite well done), but knowing how much of a classic this film is its not really got that much extras on it.
What a disappointment!

I can only echo the comments of 'The Oldstager' and say I too was looking forward to the extras such as a Commentary, The Making of the Film etc. Given the time it has taken to release this classic onto DVD it is very disappointing! What a let down!!
