Erotically Intriguing

I was in Mass. when I saw this movie. Gabrielle Anwar was great at doing this movie. I'm glad they didn't put "Invasion of.." on this one. This version of the movie was sultry, mesmerizing and indeed good. In some way, this updated version was highly more erotic than usual. And I really think this one is best seen at night. I didn't like the part when the little brother became one of the pod people. He was one on of the good guys, WHAT HAPPENED? Who knows? It probably hard to tell who to trust in some places. Comapared to the original, this version provided plenty of sexual energy.

But everything else was good. The rest have kept on fighting to preserve. And most of all, fighting temptation that consumed everyone in that Army base. Steamy and intriguing is what this movie was. 2 out of 4 stars.
