Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

gavin6942 After a meteor shower in California, Melissa feels that her co-workers and her boss Samantha that work in the agency owned by Vickland are acting differently after receiving a weird plant.This film has terrible sound, weak visuals, abysmal acting. I cannot even say there was any direction involved. As for the story, how do the writers sleep at night claiming they wrote this? The story was already written (a few times)... all they had to do was steal the credit.This sinks even below the low standards that The Asylum usually holds itself to. Rather than be released, it should have been just been erased and burned in a bonfire. They could not even do the soft-core scenes right (of which there are far too many).

Michael_Elliott Invasion of the Pod People (2007) ** (out of 4) The Asylum's "mockbuster" is a take on THE INVASION with Nicole Kidman, which of course was a remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. In the story a meteor hits the Earth and soon afterwards a woman begins to realize that everyone around here is acting weird. If you're seen the previous movies then you know what's going on. If you don't know the story then I'd recommend to stop reading this and go check out the original film with Kevin McCarthy. A lot of people attack The Asylum for their really bad movies that are usually void of any talent or imagination. I really understand because they've made some awful movies but there are times where I find their "work" to be interesting simply because as a film fan I'm interested in seeing their take on a familiar piece of work. Yes, they could try doing something "original" but why should they when these things keep making them money? This film works "best" the same way their I AM OMEGA did and that's that the source material is simply so good that it's hard to mess it up too bad. Yes, this film has an ultra cheap budget and yes the story is a rip-off and yes the performances aren't that good but I think the central story is interesting enough to where the film kept me slightly entertained in a cheap, "B" movie way. There are some updated elements here, which are pretty funny and the biggest seems to be the fact that the female pop people all turn into lesbians. This here leads to some rather erotic sex scenes where new women are "taught" new things. Again, this movie is cheap on every level so it's clearly just going to be for those looking for some very light entertainment. I think this type of thing slightly worked for me because I enjoy bad movies and I can't help but compare this to the countless rip-offs that hit drive-ins after the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS was released.

DarthBill Yet another remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", this one featuring a mostly female cast who are overtaken by the foul pod people. That just about sums this turkey up in a nutshell, as it has very little in the way of plot and apparently even less in the way of a budget.Of interest mostly for the lesbian sex scenes, but of these scenes the only one that emerges as truly erotic is when Melissa (the lovely Erica Roby) is seduced by the pod person version of Samantha; Pod-Samantha takes great pleasure in stripping Melissa completely naked and having passionate sexual intercourse with her, placing great emphasis on licking Melissa between her legs until she achieves orgasm; the next morning, Melissa wakes up with just a wee hint of feeling sexually humiliated and asks herself aloud "What did I do last night?" The Pod-Samantha/Melissa sex scene is also quite possibly the only truly disturbing scene in the film, as it is sexual intercourse between an alien and a human (some may even go so far as to say the human Melissa was raped by the alien Pod-Samantha).All in all, not sure I can recommend this unless you're a genre fan and/or a fan of watching beautiful women make love to each other.

Jack Invasion.Of.The.Pod.People should not make it to DVD. The plot has major problems, the script couldn't get a D- in a high school film class, the camera had the finesse of a single chopstick, direction was completely absent, and the costumes made our heroine look like she just entered the third trimester. The dramatic tension came only from knowing it wasn't over yet. The effects consisted of a ginger root in a flower pot. This is not a B movie, there is not one redeeming feature in this work, even the titillation, that started halfway through, was not erotic and the actress giving cunnilingus may have been asleep during filming. I could go on, but please don't watch this film. It could made you feel like a pod.
