Invasion of the Pod People

Invasion of the Pod People......
Melissa is a rep for a modeling agency who's on her way up the ladder. When her friends and co-workers begin to act strangely, Melissa becomes suspicious of their behavior and what is causing it. What she ends up discovering may be something that is way beyond her control. That's what sums up the plot of Invasion of the Pod People.

I'll admit, this is pretty much a blatant rip-off of Invasion of the Body Snatchers if I ever saw it. Course, if you're one of the reviewers here, you've pretty much made that assumption. Course, for what is, it's a dadgum GOOD blatant rip-off. I rather enjoyed the movie..despite all the sex scenes and girl-on-girl action(which this movie really didn't need).

The writers needed to work on the script abit and the actresses could have put on better performances...this much is true. It could've been way better.

Yet, again- for an Asylum movie & a decent time-waster, Invasion of the Pod People isn't too bad.

Invasion of the Bad Actresses
Just terrible! What a horrible movie. The actresses must have volunteered to do this one...I wouldn't have paid them a dime. The audio was horrific. The background sound was much louder than the dialogue. Then again, perhaps it was done deliberately. The script was even worse than the acting. Don't waste your time...even if someone gives you this for nothing. What an insult to the sci-fi genre.

A confused film
This is another 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' film, only done with poor acting and a muddled plot - with some topless nudity thrown in to keep some interest.

Melissa (Erica Roby) works with a supervisor who is mean to her. When her supervisor Casey (Amanda Ward) starts coming on to her Melissa suspects something has changed.

It's not then highly convincing that she would go to bed with her boss.

Women who have 'changed' offer a small plant as a gift to other women. The plant replicates the women. They don't seem to emerge from any pod - despite the cover-art. At best they might be in some kind of membrane.

What's then silly is that they have to kill the original in a rather haphazard way - the only time this is shown the replicant beats the original up.

It's not explained why they offer the plant particularly to women (rather than to men, especially as one is given the plant at the end of the film).
