10 Great Thrillers to Watch After You've Seen 'Suspiria'7 of 11
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Despite an opening-credits scene seemingly lifted from the earliest Troma movies, the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of the most deliberately paced and richly populated horror movies in history. Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) is, at first, more interested in sipping wine and potentially bedding his colleague (Brooke Adams) than listening to her story about her boyfriend, who seems more disconnected than usual. And the film is stocked with subtle flourishes like that, which reinforce the premise that we could all be replaced by hive-mind versions of ourselves and few people would notice the change.
