Abstract
As subversive today as when it was first released, this true science fiction classic oozed Cold War paranoia and conformism as it introduced audiences to the terrifying prospect of a silent, extraterrestrial takeover by emotionless, vegetal ‘pod people’.
Series This talk is part of the Reproduction on Film: Outlaws series.
