Published

on

Scream! Factory has announced that they will be releasing the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers on home video. Their edition will include a ton of features, but the main focus is that it will also see a brand new 2k scan from the film’s interpositive.

Directed by Philip Kaufman and starring Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, Veronica Cartwright and Jeff Goldblum, the blu-ray will be released on August 2nd.

One by one, the residents of San Francisco are becoming drone-like shadows of their former selves. As the phenomenon spreads, two Department of Health workers, Matthew (Sutherland) and Elizabeth (Adams), uncover the horrifying truth: Mysterious pods are cloning humans — and destroying the originals! The unworldly invasion grows stronger with each passing minute, hurling Matthew and Elizabeth into a desperate race to save not only their own lives, but the future of the entire human race.
