I decided to live tweet a film I actually hadn’t seen before that fit the 90s Horror Movie Month mould. Here is my live tweet session of 1993’s BODY SNATCHERS!
Live tweeting my first watch of 90s horror movie #BodySnatchers
The VHS cover freaked me out as a kid so I was too scared to watch it #BodySnatchers
Since then I heard it wasn’t good as I just never bothered … Until now! #BodySnatchers
Oh hey Forest Whitaker is in this! #BodySnatchers
How many writers did this film have? Including Larry Cohen and Stuart Gordon. Oh and directed by Abel Ferrera #BodySnatchers
Wait is that Terry Kinney? As in from Sleepers, The Firm and OZ? #BodySnatchers
Oh a crazy person attacking the young girl like 3 minutes in #BodySnatchers
Don’t tell me this film is about the military doing secret stuff with aliens? #BodySnatchers
Ewwww a dead lizard, great house keeping here … NOT #BodySnatchers
The teen girl is a little shit I’m sensing, she’s even doing a voice over #lame #BodySnatchers
Whys there teeth on the ground? #BodySnatchers
Is that Emily Valentine from Beverly Hills? #BodySnatchers
The foreshadowing is pretty lame, I get they want to build it up but it just isn’t working well #BodySnatchers
What the heck is Meg Tilly doing? I hope that’s not foreplay! #BodySnatchers
Oooooo strange occurrences in the neighbourhood … What a shock! #BodySnatchers
Thankfully R. Lee just showed up, he’s always good and elevates everything #BodySnatchers
So chemicals are to blame here? #BodySnatchers
Oh they think it’s the chemicals? But it’s aliens #BodySnatchers
How many films have there been based on the original source material and films? A fuckload obviously #BodySnatchers
The chick in this doesn’t look like she’s aged, she looks almost the same as she does in Burn Notice! #BodySnatchers
Nothing can top the 70s version but I can see why there’s many versions because you can relate the story to the time #BodySnatchers
So creepy alien kids? Or just creepy kids? #BodySnatchers
I actually don’t mind the setting here, going for something different #BodySnatchers
Oh this guy is totally now an alien, he was crazy before and now calm! #BodySnatchers
Alien pods? Are these alien pods? #BodySnatchers
Holy crap! The mother has been taken over! I think the alien just wanted to look hot like Meg Tilly #BodySnatchers
Kids always know something is wrong and no one listens, bloody morons! #BodySnatchers
There is a little creepiness to this film, it’s always scary to think people you love are not there anymore. Carnal fears #BodySnatchers
It’s not surprising this film came out when it did, post Cold War mind set. #BodySnatchers
Hahaha this is turning all stepford wives! #BodySnatchers
These aliens are ruthless in taking over, although they are kind of boring once they take over a human #BodySnatchers
The pods for making doubles are goooey #BodySnatchers
They don’t notice the worms all over them? Weird #BodySnatchers
Whoa this bath sequence is gross and messed up! Pretty well done with the body doubles trying to form and take over #BodySnatchers
Oh you aliens … You so crazy #BodySnatchers
Oh what a bad homage to the original! Props to Meg Tilly for going there though #BodySnatchers
The aliens are manipulative shits aren’t they? #BodySnatchers
The thriller element is in full swing, who can you trust? Who is an alien? What can you do? Ahhhhh #BodySnatchers
This film is definitely a mess but it’s fairly decently handled and had good intentions. #BodySnatchers
Surely they could have hidden and then ran? Bad decisions always charge the characters #BodySnatchers
Oh well he wasn’t any use to them anyway, so long Kinney #BodySnatchers
This film has gotten a bit boring but it’s a 45 minute idea being stretched out #BodySnatchers
Has everyone been turned? Oh look alien clone boobies! #BodySnatchers
Oh no everyone is changed! There is no escape! #BodySnatchers
Bloody hell that screaming is annoying! #BodySnatchers
Oh she gets her helicopter ride! #BodySnatchers
How did they turn the kid when he didn’t trust anyone? #BodySnatchers
Didn’t mind this film, has a lot of flaws but it is watchable #BodySnatchers
