FountainPen What on earth did I just watch? It cannot be called a motion picture. How did this abortion get released? Who are the "actors"? Did they ever take actual acting lessons? Why the gratuitous ridiculous nudity? Well, actually, I suppose it was an attempt to make up for the total lack of quality and thought in every single other aspect of this horrid thing. And why is the film green? Don't bother to run this DVD even if it's given to you free. 0/10.

Paul Magne Haakonsen First of all, the title of the movie is a clear indicator of what you are in for here. "Invasion of the Pod People" was very much a shameful rip-off of the classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", except it was just a horrible rendering of a classic movie.I managed to sustain 42 minutes of the ordeal that is "Invasion of the Pod People" before I just gave up out of utter and complete boredom with the movie. Nothing happened throughout this time, unless you could women getting naked and making out and questionable acting as being worth mentioning of something happening.The movie sounded like the audio was recorded from inside an empty metal barrel. The sound was just so annoying and poorly recorded. And more often than not that sound was serving as a nuisance and as an anchor around the movie.Even the storyline was a blatant rip-off off the classic movie, but just don't less skillful. A meteor shower bring foreign celestial to Earth. And while the people see these objects as harmless, they harbor a darker purpose and a sinister ability to clone those in their vicinity.The acting in the movie was wooden, rigid and questionable. It was obvious why most of the women on the cast list had been cast for this particular movie. Erica Kessler was actually doing a good enough performance from what I managed to witness, but then the script made her get naked as well. I am not a prude or anything, but the nudity in this movie was too excessive and didn't really serve the movie well."Invasion of the Pod People" was nowhere near to doing justice to the classic movie that the writers Ron Magid, Jay Marks and Leigh Scott so shamelessly had ripped off.I have no intention of returning to finish watching "Invasion of the Pod People", and I would recommend that you watch the original movie over this at any time.

me-71-396950 Shame on anyone who gives this more than one star! (And that's generous.) This film is so cataclysmically dreadful that if the doctor tells you that you have two weeks to live, watch this film. You'll want the two weeks to end quickly.The first couple of scenes start off well. Girl watches TV news report about mysterious meteorite shower, girl goes outside to see meteors blazing across the sky... nice. Then the camera cuts to her face and her reaction is precisely what I'd expect from someone who opened a carton of milk and found milk in it.That was a clue to the standard of acting throughout. But it's still better than the lighting and audio.As for the story... well, let's just say that what we have here is a porn script, complete with porn direction, but without the scenes you really paid your money for. Oh, there's soft porn, but it's as inept as everything else about this film.And then there's the mysterious alien plant that's key to the pod people's invasion. Surely someone could have found some modeling clay and a bit of paint. But no, our prop is a piece of ginger. Not one character in the film recognized it as a piece of ginger. I'm not sure what offends me more: the fact that the prop is so dismally unimaginative, or the fact that no one on the production team seems to recognize a popular grocery item. How do films this bad get made? It may be low budget but someone still had to put up the funds for this tripe. Did it make a profit? I need to go for a lie down.

vslauterbach Unlike almost all the other films from The Asylum I've seen, this effort is actually watchable. On the plus side, the cast avoids overacting. Erica Roby, Danae Nason, and Marat Glazer even manage to make their characters interesting and likable. The bad SFX aren't overused, which is refreshing, and the plot, or premise, is developed in a satisfactory manner. On the negative side, the sound and editing are terrible. Almost every scene is marred by background noise. The construction is so choppy it's distracting. A few interesting scenes end abruptly while several boring ones drag on, leaving the impression that the editor was given a running time she couldn't exceed for any reason. Lastly, there's some gratuitous mature content, but that's a selling point in the direct to video market. In summary, unlike "King of the Lost World" and other output from the The Asylum, this isn't a complete waste of 90 minutes if you enjoy cheap B movies. On a scale of 1-10, I give it a generous 4.
