Okay, the distorted voiceover at the end kinda spoiled things a little. I got what you were going for with the ominous music and the unsettling, blank-faced soldier.

Next year if I do this again, I'm going to try to watch more non-American movies. There were a couple this month, but not that many. I also want to see more queer horror. But overall I'm very happy with this list and I have some new favourites!

Hmm, I think I would have preferred it if the protagonist had actually shot someone that turned out to be an uninfected human and not a body snatcher.

Also, I'm kind of wondering what the anxiety is here. I know conspiracy minded bullshit was in vogue at the time, but I'm not sure what this movie is doing with that. Is it just a hangover from the Cold War? Is it a nostalgic part of the thirty year cycle, we grew up with movies about a creeping faceless enemy wanting everyone to conform, so we repeat that without really thinking about what that was about? Is it about the Satanic Panic? Because one of the protagonists is a six year old boy who keeps repeating "nobody believes me" and who is targeted by the body snatchers at a day care where they want him to go to sleep.

I am probably over thinking this. Like with the ease of the glass smashing, this is not that kind of movie. This is a movie about a lonely teenage girl who gets to meet a dreamy helicopter pilot and who is vindicated when her stepmom turns into a pod person. I'm just, you know, curious.
