Why it’s HorroRated
Abel Ferrara's take on the Pod People story is lean, paranoid, and genuinely effective. Setting it on a military base is a smart update that adds a layer of institutional conformity to the premise. Gabrielle Anwar is a strong lead and the film wastes no time establishing its dread. The famous 'Where you gonna go?' scream is one of the best moments in 90s horror. Underseen and essential.
Synopsis
When Environmental Protection Agency inspector Steve Malone travels to a remote military base in order to check for toxic materials, he brings his family along for the ride. After arriving at the base, his teenage daughter Marti befriends Jean Platt, daughter of the base's commander, General Platt. When people at the base begin acting strangely, Marti becomes convinced that they are slowly being replaced by plant-like aliens.
